Twenty percent of
seabird species are considered globally threatened.
More Seabird Specis Are
Endangered According to Enticott and Tipling (1) about 300 or 3% of the
species of birds fit our definition of seabirds. Many (20%) are globally
threatened compared with 12% for birds in general (1). Why are the seabirds more vulnerable? Oil spills,
military projects, overfishing, and fishing bycatch are all issues of concern.
