Marine Birds
Seabirds do not comprise a taxonomic or evolutionary group of birds. They are simply defined as birds that spend most of their life feeding and living on the open ocean, coming to land only to breed. Over 60 species of seabirds use sanctuary waters to varying degrees for nesting, feeding, wintering and migratory staging areas. Of the 16 resident species of seabirds, 11 breed in the sanctuary.
