Overview

Seabirds are birds that live and hunt primarily in the ocean environment. They are an important part of our planet's ecosystems and are integral to the health of the marine food chain. Seabirds play an important role in nutrient cycling, controlling the populations of marine organisms, and providing food sources for other birds and animals. Their presence is also important for the balance of the world's coral reefs and for reducing coastal erosion. Seabirds are used in a variety of industries, from aquaculture to offshore oil and gas extraction. They can also help reduce the impact of plastic and other pollutants in the ocean environment by ingesting them and aiding in their removal from the ocean. Seabirds are also important indicators of ecosystem health, as their presence and abundance can be used to track changes in ocean conditions.
