Seabirds are the most threatened group of birds globally (Rodríguez et al, 2019, Croxall et al. , 2012). Aotearoa New Zealand has both the greatest number of resident seabird species in the world (88 of a global total of ~370), and the greatest number of endemic seabird species (37) of any country (Forest & Bird, 2014).
