Title

Monitoring for long-term or cumulative impacts in Southern Ocean seabirds


Project aims

This project provides population data on Antarctic and Subantarctic seabirds that permit assessments to be made of natural population trends at local to regional scales, so that changes in populations due to human disurbance, such as station activities and helicopter operations can be identified.
