Résumé :
|
The current status of the program 'Seabirds at Sea' in Germany and the prospects for the next 2-3 years are reviewed. Methodology should be improved both for fieldwork and analysis. New fieldwork should focus on divers (Gaviidae) and scoters (Melanitta sp.) and should also aim at a better coverage of areas which have not been studied sufficiently so far (e.g. Baltic Sea). Analyses are foreseen in particular for (1) a seabird atlas of the German Bight, (2) conservation aspects, (3) influence of abiotic factors on coastal seabird dynamics in the German Bight and (4) faunistic aspects. As examples, results obtained from 1990 to 1998 on the distribution and density of Black-legged Kittiwake Rissa tridactyla, Sandwich Tern Sterna sandvicensis and Razorbill Alca torda in the German Bight are presented.
