Study: Fisheries Compete with Shrinking Seabird Population for Food.

The team found enhanced competition between birds and fishing boats in half of all studied areas, notably the Southern Ocean, Asian littorals, Mediterranean Sea,
Norwegian Sea, and California coast. The team described the competitive pressure as a "severe constraint" on seabird populations, which have declined by 70 percent between 1950 and 2010. Seabirds are now considered the most threatened bird group.
