“When there was a vibrant fish population in the sea, you would see a lot of pelicans and cormorants and other fish-eating birds,” Shore said.

DDT was eventually banned in the U.S. in 1972, and its removal led to the return of native species around the nation, including pelicans and cormorants.

An Antarctic cormorant on western Graham Land was also infected yet apparently unharmed.
