Supporting Protected Seabird Populations

Background Approaches to offsetting anthropogenic impacts to seabird populations remain largely novel and untested. Offsetting may focus, for example, on improving conditions at breeding sites, by removing invasive species or creating new colonies (Furness et al. 2013). Another option, to be explored in this project, is to increase food availability to improve reproductive success or survival. In order to make evidence-based decisions about the technical feasibility, likely effectiveness and ecological consequences...
