Description
Birds crossing oceans are more or less impacted by new and ongoing ocean use. Vulnerability indices can be used in large-scale marine spatial planning to understand which species are likely to be impacted and how. Bird populations vary. Some are very rare birds with small geographic ranges with almost the entire population moving over one of central- and north-americas waters. Other bird species are more ubiquitous and only a small proportion of the population moves over water. Additionally, ocean use may be completely different for each some birds make foraging trips to provision young, others stage during seasonal movements or periods of molt, and some take a direct path and make no use of the ocean except as a migratory flyway finding the shortest route to breeding or overwintering sites. During all activities birds may be deflected from their pathway by anthropogenic activities in the offshore space. Just as the morphology of bird species differs, so does the energetic cost of movement. Thus, the fitness toll differs for each species displaced from its pathway. These traits and many more will be explored in normandeaus caribbean vulnerability assessment.
