Spear et al. 2005, ACAP 2012w), with some birds recorded in waters adjacent to south-east Australia (Baker et al. 2002).

Population estimates and trends

The global population trend is uncertain with no population trend information available for the species over three generations (BirdLife International 2018m). There were an estimated 6200 breeding pairs in 2019 (ACAP 2022).

Habitat critical to survival of species

The species is limited to one breeding site on the South Island of New Zealand at Punakaiki (ACAP 2012w).

Threats

Likelihood of occurrence  Consequences

Not significant           Minor         Moderate                                                                                                                       Major                                          Catastrophic

Almost certain                          Fisheries interactions: pelagic longline, demersal longline, artisanal

                                        Human disturbance: events due to artificial lighting, power line strikes, trampling of burrows

                                        Introduced pest species: predation by cats, rats, dogs, stoats, trampling of burrows and habitat degradation by cattle, goats

Likely                                                                                                                                                                 Climate variability and change: severe storms

Possible

Unlikely

Rare or Unknown                         Human disturbance: take for food
