4 What should a biologist do? Do Nothing Do Something n habitat protection & creation predators/competitors social attraction translocation captive rearing genomics t
5 What is a reasonable conservation goal? 1. Augment one or more existing colonies 2. Create one or more new colonies 3. Reestablish historical colonies
6 What is a reasonable conservation target? In excess of 75 species of seabirds nest on 10 or fewer islands worldwide: Number of nesting islands or archipelagos? Total = Estimated Number of species Source: Seabirds of the World by Peter Harrison

26 Lessons learned? 1. Attraction/relocation can help to increase existing colonies, create new colonies, and restart historical colonies (any of these outcomes can be highly desirable). 2. Habitat must be intact or at least improving. 3. For attraction, presence of a healthy population of prospectors is desirable and possibly essential. 4. For relocation, you need a collecting source and rearing should be as simple possible. 5. For both attraction and relocation luck can be a major variable (both good and bad varieties abound).
