They were headed for the North Atlantic, specifically to a fracture zone where undersea formations pull bands of warm and cold currents, creating conditions that are unusually amenable to life.<\/p>\n<p>Several researchers, including scientists at Birdlife International and Wakefield, had noticed a constellation of locations around the fracture zone that pointed to sizable seabird aggregations. But no one had been there. Wakefield, then a post-doctoral fellow at the University of Glasgow in Scotland, was hoping to ground-truth the data with on-site observations.<\/p>\n<p>For about two weeks in the summer of 2017, the ship tacked a sawtooth pattern north to south, across a patch of ocean the size of France. On deck, the team scanned air and sea with binoculars, glassing for birds. They also took water samples and other measurements to better understand why seabirds congregate there and how they influenced the ecosystem.<\/p>\n<p>For a biodiversity hotspot, the abundance of life wasn\u2019t immediately apparent, Wakefield said. It\u2019s only if you\u2019ve been at sea before and are accustomed to the usual emptiness that you appreciate the signs of relative plenty, he said: Seabirds wheeling overhead, the regular appearances of dolphins and occasional sightings of rare cetaceans like beaked whales.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_326795\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133104\/5_Pilot-whales-1.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-326795\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133104\/5_Pilot-whales-1.jpg\" alt=\"Pilot whales\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133104\/5_Pilot-whales-1.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133104\/5_Pilot-whales-1-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133104\/5_Pilot-whales-1-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133104\/5_Pilot-whales-1-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133104\/5_Pilot-whales-1-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">Pilot whales photographed during surveys for what became the NACES Marine Protected Area.

One <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/abs\/pii\/S0006320720309733\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">study<\/a> estimated that using two out of three of these mitigation measures reduces seabird bycatch by more than 90%.<\/p>\n<p>Invasive predators, like rats and cats, also pose a significant threat to seabirds, particularly for island-breeding colonies. It\u2019s another threat that highlights the need for a flyways approach, Bentley said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIf you\u2019ve got invasives on your island and you\u2019re spending heaps of money and time controlling those predators \u2014 which might be killing chicks and eggs \u2014 but then all of those birds are flying off and immediately getting killed in an unregulated longline fishing industry \u2026 it\u2019s like all of that investment is kind of for nothing. That\u2019s why we need to have this coordination across the cycle,\u201d Bentley said.<\/p>\n<p>However, some threats are hard to tackle, requiring broad international cooperation even beyond the flyways scale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cMarine protected areas and other kinds of protection mechanisms, like flyways \u2026 can often go a long way to protecting against a lot of threats like fisheries, but one thing they often don\u2019t do well is plastics, because plastics don\u2019t respect man-made borders,\u201d said Jennifer Lavers, a researcher at Adrift Lab, a research cooperative.<\/p>\n<p>Climate change is also having dramatic impacts on seabirds in ways researchers are only beginning to understand. It\u2019s well known that seabirds are sensitive to large-scale climatic changes, like air and ocean temperatures, Lavers said. But more recently, the catastrophic impacts of marine heatwaves \u2014 intense spikes in ocean temperatures \u2014 have become apparent. For example, in Australia, marine heatwaves killed an estimated 629,000 seabirds in 2023-2024, according to a <a href=\"https:\/\/conbio.onlinelibrary.wiley.com\/doi\/10.1111\/cobi.70273\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">study<\/a> led by Lavers.<\/p>\n<p>She also recently published <a href=\"https:\/\/www.sciencedirect.com\/science\/article\/pii\/S0006320726001709#s0075\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\">research<\/a> documenting increasing wildfires burning on critical island breeding colonies, destroying a standard belief that islands are havens.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere really is that perception that, like, \u2018we can stuff things up on the mainland, but we\u2019ve got our islands\u2019 \u2014 so seabirds are in some sense a little bit protected,\u201d Lavers said. \u201cIt turns out that actually, they\u2019re really vulnerable.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_326792\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><a href=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133050\/7_Galapagos-petrel.jpg\" data-wpel-link=\"external\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"external\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-full wp-image-326792\" src=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133050\/7_Galapagos-petrel.jpg\" alt=\"The critically endangered Galapagos petrel\" width=\"1536\" height=\"1024\" srcset=\"https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133050\/7_Galapagos-petrel.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133050\/7_Galapagos-petrel-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133050\/7_Galapagos-petrel-1200x800.jpg 1200w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133050\/7_Galapagos-petrel-350x233.jpg 350w, https:\/\/imgs.mongabay.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/20\/2026\/08\/20133050\/7_Galapagos-petrel-610x407.jpg 610w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1536px) 100vw, 1536px\"\/><\/a><figcaption class=\"wp-caption-text\">The critically endangered Galapagos petrel is among the many species that need protected flyways.

They go to more places. They go faster.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Much of the early seabird tracking data was on larger birds like albatrosses, but with technological advances, including lightweight, solar-powered GPS tags, researchers can now track smaller birds.<\/p>\n<p>Some of these tags can transmit highly accurate position data via satellite for months or years. That\u2019s a big change from archival tags, which store data \u201conboard,\u201d meaning the animal had to be recaptured to download the data. But, for now, these next-gen satellite tags are expensive.<\/p>\n<p>Still, the explosion of seabird tracking studies in recent years has been phenomenal, Wakefield said. Combining tracking with other kinds of data and analysis \u2014 for example, \u201cbiologgers,\u201d small electronic devices that record animal movements and environmental data \u2014 gives a fuller picture of where seabirds are going and why.<\/p>\n<p>\u201c[T]he jigsaw is now coming together \u2014 and tracking is central to that,\u201d Wakefield said.<\/p>\n<p><em><strong>Banner image:<\/strong> Many think of wildlife corridors as connected landscapes, but across the globe, animals on land, in freshwater, in the sea and in the skies need to safely move to find food, water, to find a mate and reproduce.
