Forming Kinship with Seabirds
Just as communities throughout history understood seabird nests (or their absence) as signs of resource abundance or scarcity, scientists today monitor seabird breeding productivity as an indicator of ocean health, and so we’re keenly aware of threats the birds and the waters they inhabit face.

Plastics Pose a Threat to Birds
Once trash makes its way from land to sea, it can travel all the way around the world before washing up on land again. The same characteristics that make it easy for plastics to travel to the ocean also make it easy for coastal and marine species to ingest them — plastics are buoyant and light.
From Open Ocean to Sandy Shores, Oceans are Bird Habitat
Seabirds are marine animals, every bit as ocean-dwelling as sea turtles. They spend far more of their lives at sea than on land, coming inland only for the purpose of breeding and raising young.
Conserving Marbled Murrelets
American Bird Conservancy goes where the Marbled Murrelets go, partnering with state and federal agencies, conservation organizations, and researchers to conserve the species across its life cycle, on land and at sea, from forest stands to the hallways of Congress.
