Bring Back the Seabirds, Otago
Dunedin is a seabird capital with 11 species still breeding close to the city and 19 species frequenting shoreline waters. In all, nearly 40% of New Zealand's seabirds use the waters off Otago.
Globally, seabirds are the most endangered group of birds. Their nesting grounds are threatened by land use change and introduced predators. Many die at sea as bycatch from the fishing industry and overfishing and climate change are depleting their food source.
