TL;DR: The abundance of plastics in stomachs of northern fulmars from the North Sea is used in the OSPAR Ecological Quality Objective (EcoQO) for marine litter and is now also used as an indicator for Good Environmental Status in the European Marine Strategy Framework Directive.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors tracked adults from colonies throughout the Atlantic range over the non-breeding season using light-based geolocation, and estimated the size and composition of wintering populations using information on breeding population size.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors found that synchronous fluctuations of two congeneric seabird species across the entire Arctic and sub-Arctic regions were associated with changes in sea surface temperatures (SST) that were linked to two climate shifts, in 1977 and again in 1989.

TL;DR: In this article, a North Sea international study of Fulmar stomach contents became possible as a part of the Save the North Sea (SNS)' project, which is an international and interdisciplinary initiative to reduce marine litter which received cofunding from EU Interreg IIIB program for the North sea over the years 2002-2004.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors identify important aggregations of seabirds in the North Atlantic to inform ongoing regional conservation efforts and identify a major hotspot associated with a discrete area of the subpolar frontal zone.
