Indicators of the Ocean

Seabirds like the albatross or the Atlantic puffin spend a large part of their lives on the open sea. Their condition reveals much about the health of the oceans.

Nutrient Transporters

Seabirds transport nutrients from the sea to land. Through their droppings, they fertilize coastal ecosystems and promote plant growth.

Threatened by Human Influences

Plastic pollution, overfishing, and climate change threaten many seabird species. Their protection not only helps individual species but also preserves the connection between sea and land.
