TL;DR: To enhance comparability of findings among studies, species, and oceanographic regions, a recommendation on standards for the reporting of results in the literature is made.

TL;DR: The effects of fishing on birds may be direct or indirect as discussed by the authors, although on a lesser scale some fishing activities also disturb birds, such as by-catch of albatrosses and petrels in longlines in the North Pacific and in the Southern Ocean.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors developed a wind farm sensitivity index (WSI) for seabirds and applied this index to the Exclusive Economic Zone and the national waters of Germany in the North Sea.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors examined how seabirds might be used to study marine environmental variables, which necessitates knowing location and the value of the variable to be studied, and examined the foraging behavior of seabird foraging behaviour in order to identify those features which would be useful for determination of marine environmental variable at a variety of spatial and temporal scales.
