Bird Life International (a global conservation organization) has recently launched the E-Atlas of Marine Important Bird Areas.
Seabirds present tricky conservation problems because many species spend their life at sea (only returning to land to breed), and some species travel vast distances across international waters.
The E-Atlas of Marine Important Bird Areas is the first global inventory of important sites for the conservation of migratory marine species.
Identification of the most important areas for seabirds is vital for selecting which marine and coastal areas need protecting, and the location of offshore oil and gas drilling and wind-farms.
Check out the E-Atlas. Look how important Alaska, the Aleutian Islands, and the Bering Sea are for seabirds.
