Résumé :	Seabirds are in danger around the world. Over half (57%) of the world’s 359 species are known to be in decline and almost a third (30%) are considered globally threatened (19 Critically Endangered, 34 Endangered and 58 Vulnerable), whilst a further 11% are listed as Near Threatened (BirdLife International 2022). Understanding their biology, the causes of their decline, conservation actions, and monitoring their populations are necessary to prevent their disappearance. The marine waters off West Africa are highly productive, supporting an array of seabirds. However, this productivity is under threat, and conservation of the region’s seabirds is needed into the future. This handbook aims to encourage and facilitate this process by providing an overview of the region and its seabirds and the key threats they face, and introducing conservation and monitoring measures to help to mitigate threats and improve conservation status. This handbook deals with the biology and ecological characteristics of seabirds in part 1, which also introduces seabirds that occur in West Africa and the region itself. In part 2, the main threats to seabirds and causes of their decline are discussed. Part 3 focuses on conservation actions, especially to deal with the threats described. The strategies and the implementation of action plans as well as conservation tools such as a protected areas and other designations are highlighted in part 4. An introduction to monitoring seabird colonies and other areas necessary for the conservation of seabirds is given in part 5.
