| [ProgrammeName] | Name of monitoring programme | BB4 - Marine bird abundance (B1) |
| [ProgrammeDescription] | Description of the monitoring programme | The abundance of marine birds directly indicates their quantitative status. The programme addresses abundance both during the breeding season (number of breeding pairs) and in the non-breeding season (number of individuals along the coasts and at sea). Data is collected as part of national monitoring programmes, but there is sometimes international coordination: UK & IE - Seabird Monitoring Programme; NL, DE & DK - Trilateral Monitoring and Assessment Programme (Wadden Sea). Non-breeding data also collected as part of Wetland International's International Waterbird Census. |
