2023 Regional Reports – new, interactive map and searchable format!

Compiled by Pacific Seabirds Committee

From 2023 to 2024, the Pacific Seabirds Committee developed a new, online-based approach to the Regional Reports. These Regional Reports are a cornerstone of PSG, helping us to learn from one another, network, and connect. Regional Reports are now collected via an online submission form each spring (by March 15th). Then, reports are compiled and organized into an online database, which will allow folks to search Regional Reports by region and species. 

And, you can also explore Regional Reports through our new, interactive map (compiled by Johanna Bosch)!

2023 Regional Reports – by the numbers

We received over 35 regional reports this year, spanning across the Pacific Ocean—and beyond! Most reports came from the regions of Northern California, Washington/Oregon, and the Hawaiian archipelago, followed by Alaska, Asia, and Canada.

PSG members and supporters study a wide array of seabird species! In the 2023 regional reports, many focused on species such as the rhinoceros auklet, tufted puffin, common murre, Hawaiian petrel, marbled murrelet, and the pelagic cormorant.
