TL;DR: The rapid growth in Asian debris, mainly from China, coupled with the recent manufacture of these items, indicates that ships are responsible for most of the bottles floating in the central South Atlantic Ocean, in contravention of International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships regulations.

TL;DR: Results indicate that habitat use reflects both its availability and bird preferences, such that the realized distribution patterns differ for each population of a long-ranging marine predator, the grey petrel Procellaria cinerea.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors studied the recovery dynamics of seabird populations following successful mammalian eradication. And they found that seabirds are among the most threatened groups of birds, and predation by invasive mammals is one of the most acute threats at their island breeding stations.

TL;DR: In this article, the space use patterns of seabirds were examined to provide guidance on whether conservation management approaches should be tailored for taxonomic groups with different movement characteristics, and the results highlight that short-ranging and aggregating species such as cormorants, auks, some penguins, and gulls would benefit from conservation approaches at relatively small spatial scales during their breeding season.

TL;DR: In this article, tracking data from 538 tag deployments made over a decade at the Subantarctic Prince Edward Islands was used to identify important habitat for 14 species of marine predators.
