Conservation
 
Cormorant, Phalacrocorax coronatus (Namibia)Seabird conservation concerns include:
  • bycatch (seabird/fisheries interactions),
  • monitoring of seabird populations,
  • seabird restoration following oil spills,
  • establishment of seabird sanctuaries, and
  • endangered species.
In some cases, removal of feral (non-native) predators is required, such as a project to remove rats, Rattus spp from small islands near Adak, Aleutian Islands, Alaska to restore seabird populations and another project to remove introduced arctic foxes, Alopex lagopus.

Population trends of seabirds differ greatly among species and sites so that long term ecological research is required. Researchers are relating seabird productivity and population trends to variations in climate, oceanography, and structure of the marine ecosystem.
