The polar regions are being negatively impacted by climate change, as well
as long-range drift pollution from areas far removed from the polar
latitudes. Ivory Gulls eat carrion, and so are at the top of the arctic
food chain.  And it seems that they are being severely impacted by high
concentrations of mercury in the fat of the dead seals and whales that they
consume.  You can listen to a podcast regarding this research here:

It was broadcast last weekend on the CBC radio show "*Quirks and Quarks*".

It is only due to our anti-science and anti-environment Harper government
that keeps the species from being declared Endangered.
