Figure 1 Seabirds. (A) Seabirds are wholly reliant on the marine environment for at least part of their lives, like these African penguins (Spheniscus demersus), but must come back to land to breed. (B) More than 90% of seabirds live in colonies (these are Cape gannets Morus capensis), representing some of the largest vertebrate aggregations. (C) Procellariiformes (albatrosses and petrels) are among the most threatened avian orders; this is partly because of their attraction to fisheries for discards and bait, leading to a high risk of bycatch (D).
