Seabirds, such as this Short-tailed Albatross, are among our most spectacular birds – and our most threatened. Of the 73 birds on the Audubon Watchlist, 22 are marine or coastal. According to the IUCN, of the 346 seabird species, 97 (28%) are globally threatened, and a further 10% are listed as Near Threatened. Almost half of all seabird species are known or suspected to be experiencing population declines. The albatross family is especially imperiled, with 17 of the 22 species currently threatened with extinction. Help us create a future for these birds.
