📉 New research on southern black-backed gulls (karoro) in Tāmaki Makaurau | Auckland shows how urban sprawl is reshaping coastal ecosystems. Scientists found karoro have shifted from marine diets to more land-based, human-derived food. buff.ly/KbgVPEy

🚛🐦 A Western Gull from Southeast Farallon Island was observed twice riding in a long-haul garbage truck from San Francisco to a compost facility in California’s Central Valley. This behavior may increase as birds adapt to changing environments. buff.ly/JtDClUI

🕊️ Today is #WorldSeabirdDay, marking the 1844 extinction of the Great Auk. Seabirds still face major threats—bycatch, pollution & habitat loss. Just weeks ago, #WorldAlbatrossDay reminded us: thousands of seabirds die yearly in fisheries. Let’s act. 🌊🐦 #ACAP

🚨 New Release: SeaScribe 2.8 🌊 The latest version for offshore wildlife surveyors is here! 🗺️ Better map caching 🦅 Custom species list uploads 🐬 Improved stability & bug fixes bit.ly/4lBL6gr #WildlifeSurvey #MarineScience #ConservationTech #FieldData

📊 Researchers analyzed over 3,000 population trends spanning 5 to 91 years, revealing changes in biodiversity in the Wadden Sea that reflect a global crisis. As species ranges and abundances shift, ecosystems and their services also change. 🔗 bit.ly/45TzroP

🌐 2026 Pacific Seabird Group Annual Meeting — Online! 🗓️ 23–27 February 2026 Theme: “Seabirds: Connecting Oceans, Islands, and People” First virtual meeting since 2021, enhancing global participation and reducing carbon emissions. bit.ly/4nFeK6u

A new study reveals that eradicating invasive rats from coral islands could aid in restoring reef ecosystems. In Seychelles, rats decimate seabirds, disrupting vital nutrient flow. Removing them could revive seabird populations & boost reef health. 🌊🐦🐀 bit.ly/3GTA0EW

🚨 A 9-year seabird study in southeast Aotearoa/New Zealand reveals shifts tied to season, distance from shore & ocean conditions. Nearly 40% of species show signs of climate-driven change in the SW Pacific. 🌊🐦 🔗 bit.ly/44H2rPO #ClimateChange #Seabirds

To protect wildlife as offshore wind grows, we need the best ecological data. Monash University researchers created a practical guide to seabird flight—how high, how fast & when they fly. 📄 Journal of Applied Ecology: bit.ly/4eXfqQw #Seabirds #ClimateAndNature

🇦🇷 Investigadores en Patagonia estudiaron la segregación sexual del Cormorán Imperial durante la incubación. Con GPS, TDR e isótopos estables, hallaron diferencias entre sexos en áreas y patrones de alimentación, sin cambios isotópicos. 🔗 bit.ly/40Dvy3Z WCS Argentina

🚨 Peru’s guano birds are in crisis. Since 2022, populations of cormorants, pelicans & boobies have dropped 75%—from 4 million to 500,000. 📉 Causes: 🦠 Avian flu (2022) 🌊 El Niño (2023) 🎣 Overfishing (2024) Details 👉 bit.ly/44RzqAS #Seabirds #MarineConservation

New research on Taiwanese albacore longlines in the SE Atlantic tested 3 seabird bycatch measures: 🌙 Night setting cut bycatch to 0.046/1,000 hooks ⚖️ Weighted branch lines cut bycatch 61% but may reduce catch 🪶 BSLs help if bait sinks fast enough 🔗 bit.ly/459ppOd

Happy #WorldRangerDay! Today we honor rangers protecting nature & culture worldwide — including seabird habitats. 🌊🐦 Thank you for your dedication! Tag your favorite ranger & show some love 💚 #WorldRangerDay2025 #SeabirdConservation #WorldSeabirdUnion
