Annex A: Summary of the seabird species affected by longline fishing in the Australian Fishing Zone
The following reflects current information on the taxonomy and conservation status of each seabird species, including information from the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species Version 2017-3 (IUCN, 2018) and ACAP. A distinction is drawn between species that breed and forage in areas under Australian jurisdiction (Table 5 below) and species foraging, but not breeding in areas under Australian jurisdiction (Table 6 below). The likely incidence in longline bycatch is assessed in the absence of seabird mitigation measures.
