"#Seabirds distribute #nutrients, in the form of guano, that’s beneficial to #plankton, #seagrass and #coral reefs, which, in turn, nurtures fish populations that are eaten by seabirds and marine mammals in a cycle that forms a biological #CarbonPump. The stronger the pump, the more carbon dioxide it pushes into seabed sediment storage.

Restoring Seabird Populations Can Help Repair the Climate - Inside Climate News

Seabirds evolved about 60 million years ago, as Earth’s continents drifted toward their current positions and modern oceans took shape. They spread across thousands of undisturbed islands in the widening seas. And as flying dinosaurs and giant omnivorous sea reptiles died out, seabirds also started filling an ecological niche as ecosystem engineers. They distribute nutrients, […]

"There are hundreds of other seabird restoration projects around the world showing signs of success.

The new study focused on efforts to actively bring back bird populations, including social attraction methods, like using decoys, as well as direct translocation of young birds to new sites free of invasive predators. In more than 75 percent of the restorations, targeted species visited the sites and started breeding within 2 years."
