The marine #flyways concept can help coordinate collaborative #conservation efforts for migratory #seabirds, building on the successes of the existing flyways for land and waterbirds

Tracking data from 48 long-distance pelagic #seabird species, shared by >100 collaborators, were analysed to reveal the consistent & repeatable #migratory routes, including a circumpolar navigation of the Southern Ocean & transhemispheric ‘figures of 8’ in the Pacific & Atlantic oceans
