Marine Ornithology Journal

Marine Ornithology is a peer-reviewed journal published by the Pacific Seabird Group on behalf of a consortium of seabird groups: African, Australasian, Dutch, Japanese, and Pacific. The journal publishes peer-reviewed contributed papers, special issues, Forum articles (papers on topics of general interest that express a particular viewpoint and may be solicited), and book, website, and software reviews, on all aspects of marine ornithology worldwide. Review papers or Commentaries (i.e., short articles contributing new perspectives on existing publications) on important or emerging topics in marine ornithology are encouraged. Contributions dealing with coastal or water birds such as gulls, terns, cormorants, and pelicans will also be considered.
