Status of the world’s seabirds is in rapid decline. Island biologists based at UC Santa Cruz aim to save these imperiled species using Google Android smartphones.

A new iPhone app has been developed for the Santa Cruz Police Department (SCPD) which will allow users to access the SCPD’s scanner feed, crime maps, new departmental blog, crime alerts and mug shots. The app will also be developed and released for use on the Droid platform within the coming months.
