UBC research shows world’s monitored seabird populations have dropped 70 per cent since the 1950s, a stark indication that marine ecosystems are not doing well.
Michelle Paleczny, a UBC master’s student and researcher with the Sea Around Us project, and co-authors compiled information on more than 500 seabird populations from around the world, representing 19 per cent of the global seabird population. They found overall populations had declined by 69.6 per cent, equivalent to a loss of about 230 million birds in 60 years.
“Seabirds are particularly good indicators of the health of marine ecosystems,” said Paleczny. ”When we see this magnitude of seabird decline, we can see there is something wrong with marine ecosystems. It gives us an idea of the overall impact we’re having.”
The dramatic decline is caused by a variety of factors including overfishing of the fish seabirds rely on for food, birds getting tangled in fishing gear, plastic and oil pollution, introduction of non-native predators to seabird colonies, destruction and changes to seabird habitat, and environmental and ecological changes caused by climate change.

Damn, life is dying all around us but yet it isn't happening within the minds of some. damn.
Awesome idea! Since the "science is settled" it makes sense to put funding into something substantiveThis is an ecological study that needs to be done. Maybe -- specie by specie. Take $$1/2Bill from the GW budget and do it. And clean up the floating garbage dumps in the ocean.. You could build 3rd world INDUSTRIES around doing just that..

CO2 causes overfishing. The things you can learn from the AGWCult are truly staggering
We constructed a global database of available primarily English-language seabird population size records worldwide for the years spanning 1950–2010. We compiled data per population, defined as the breeding population of a species occurring on an island or stretch of coastline in which data were most commonly aggregated for reporting (i.e., a country or discrete sub-region of a large country such as a group of islands or a province). In total, we found data for 3213 breeding populations belonging to 324 seabird species (S1 Table) [17] reported in 357 coastal stretches (S2 Table).
We obtained data from primary sources including journal articles, books, and unpublished reports. We obtained population sizes as breeding pairs or total population; for comparison between the two, we converted records reported in breeding pairs to total population assuming that the population includes 30% non-breeders, a commonly assumed estimate for global seabird studies [18–20]. If a population size was reported as a range (e.g., 100–200 breeding pairs), we assumed the population size to be the geometric mean of the minimum and maximum records; the geometric mean is the square root of the product of a pair of values, and is applied in ecology to approximate central tendency [21]. For an example of the population database contents, see S3 Table. The database derived from our study is maintained by the Sea Around Us Project and will be made publicly available at www.seaaroundus.org.

Hey PK1 -- Of ALL those causes -- why do you have to come out swinging for Global Warming to be the ONLY eco issue worth discussing? What do you think the chances are that the 0.4deg change in your lifetime is the DRIVING cause of this tragedy?? We should be working to understand and fix this --- not letting our "programming" interfere with whatever eco causes need to be addressed..

They took numbers from everyone who published anything, There is no data credibility or reliability. They placed this into their model and the output is being treated as empirical evidence..
In their methods they do not even address the ADO and PDO with its resulting shifts in migratory bird route changes they cause.
??? How did this pass peer review???
This isn't even a polished turd! Given their data credibility problems this is worse than manufactured crap... but its still crap..

Yes, they used whatever data they could find on seabird POPULATIONS (324 species) across 357 coastal stretches around the world. A nice sample!
Do you understand statistics?
Can you read or are you an imbecile? That peer-reviewed scientific article did not need ADO, PDO, AMO, ENSO or other ocean climate-related migrations, since they sampled POPULATIONS all over the world.
Yes, it looks like humans are screwing up the ecology world-wide. And you doubt that?

It was probably because you OPENED that post with "climate deniers === tobacco deniers".. and the "not caused by human activity" and digs at Repubs. (not that I protect Repubs)

There is no statistical control or check for properly sourced numbers. They ASSUMED that the other numbers from sources were not contrived or deflated for political gain. This is like giving someone you dont know access to your bank account and assuming that the numbers are A-ok each month..
The paper and its assumptions are garbage.
