SEABIRDS COUNT *

This book is the product of thousands of survey hours spent on our cliffs, moorland and in towns and cities and just as many miles walked by as many as 1,000 volunteer and professional surveyors. It would not have been possible without their passion and determination to collect the data needed to produce these results. Equally, this project would not have even existed without the efforts of the original census steering group, a group consisting of over 20 organisations (listed below). Similarly, without the generous contributions of five marine renewable companies, UK, Welsh, Scottish and Irish governments some of the most important sites and species would not have been surveyed.

This book brings together the results of all these efforts providing an essential up to date baseline for assessing the future impacts seabirds face in Britain and Ireland and for judging the success of conservation actions taken to address them. These vital data will help aid our understanding of the relationships between seabirds and the pressures they face.

Seabirds Count es el cuarto censo de aves marinas reproductoras en Gran Bretaña e Irlanda, un grupo de aves que tiene, en estos países, poblaciones de relevancia internacional. Entre 2015 y 2021, se muestrearon más de 10.000 lugares y 25 especies. El resultado es un trabajo exhaustivo, que proporciona datos actualizados sobre el estado de sus poblaciones. Esta información es de vital importancia para comprender mejor las relaciones entre las aves marinas y los problemas de supervivencia a los cuales se enfrentan.
