Seabird conservation status, threats and priority actions: a global assessment (2012, background): “Although relatively few in number, seabirds as a group occur in all seas and oceans worldwide, and their role as potential indicators of marine conditions is widely acknowledged (e.g. Boyd et al. 2006, Piatt et al. 2007, Parsons et al. 2008).”
When three per cent may not be three per cent; device-equipped seabirds experience variable flight constraints (2012, background): “Not only do such devices provide essential information on the biology and ecology of marine species and their role in the oceans (Croxall 1987), but they may also provide quantitative data on a range of physical parameters (Furness and Camphuysen 1997; Fedak 2004; Piatt et al. 2007), leading to a be”

Changes in Canadian seabird populations and ecology since 1970 in relation to changes in oceanography and food webs (2009, background): “Because of the expense and technical difficulty of sampling marine resources, especially offshore, seabirds present an especially attractive option for monitoring marine environments (Cairns 1987; Vermeer 1992; Piatt et al. 2007; Wanless et al. 2007; Parsons et al. 2008).”
