First sentence: Population and monitoring studies over the last 20 years have enhanced our knowledge of seabirds, and Birdlife International, in Birds to Watch 2 (Collar et al. 1994), classifies 20% of seabirds as globally threatened, compared with 12% for all bird species: clearly, all is not well with the World's seabirds.
