Not all animals in national marine sanctuaries live in the water. Birds are among the most visible elements of biodiversity in the marine environment. By tracking bird populations, scientists can better understand the state and health of the marine ecosystems that our communities and economies depend on.
Birds are a major indicator of ecosystem health. Their sensitivity to ecological changes make them ideal species for monitoring environmental shifts. The National Marine Sanctuary System provides feeding and nesting grounds for many types of birds.
