Ao nidificarem em lhas costeiras, as aves marinhas estabelecem uma conexão vital entre a terra e o mar, revelando informações sobre a saúde dos ecossistemas costeiros e os impactos das atividades humanas nessas áreas. Também desempenham um papel fundamental na manutenção da biodiversidade e na sustentabilidade dos ecossistemas costeiros.

Com isto, o monitoramento das aves marinhas, local e globalmente, oferece uma análise das condições dos oceanos e das áreas costeiras. Proteger estas aves, não só, preserva as suas espécies, mas também desempenha um papel vital na conservação dos ecossistemas costeiros, essenciais para a vida marinha e humana.

By nesting on coastal islands, seabirds establish a vital connection between land and sea, revealing information about the health of coastal ecosystems and the impacts of human activities in these areas. They also play a key role in maintaining biodiversity and the sustainability of coastal ecosystems.

Seabirds therefore play a crucial role as biological indicators. Their sensitivity to environmental changes, influenced by their position in the food chain and their migratory lifestyle, makes them alert to variations in temperature and food availability. In addition, monitoring pollutants in seabirds offers valuable insights into water quality and the health of marine ecosystems.

Seabirds also play a vital role in coastal ecosystems, depositing essential nutrients from their excretions into the soil, impacting vegetation and soil fertility. This natural fertilization impacts not only plant species, but also other forms of life that depend directly on it.

Monitoring seabirds, both locally and globally, provides an analysis of the conditions of the oceans and coastal areas. Protecting these birds not only preserves their species, but also plays a vital role in the conservation of coastal ecosystems, which are essential for marine and human life.
