Description
This map shows the connectivity of Pelagic foraging seabirds in the Great Barrier Reef and its surrounding areas: Torres Strait, Coral Sea and Great Sandy regions. The arrows indicate the strength and nature of the connection between the regions. This map is intended to identify where one region is dependent on a neighbouring region.
Additional notes: This map highlights the connectivity for Wedge-tailed shearwaters, sooty terns and bridled terns. Shearwaters migrate to Guam, others are unknown.
The data for this map was developed based on expert opinion (Brad Congdon).
