There is a growing need to identify Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) for marine species. For seabirds, MPAs include those near breeding colonies, offshore foraging areas, inshore habitats for wintering species, and migratory bottlenecks. However, f[...]

Seabirds are well monitored and protected at their breeding grounds but spend most of their life at sea, where they are less well monitored and afforded little protection. In an attempt to address this dichotomy, attention has been directed towa[...]

The identification of marine areas of importance for seabirds is a challenge, because it is often unclear how birds are using the different areas in which they occur. Species differ in habitat choice, foraging behaviour and feeding range, but al[...]
