Collaborative research by multiple universities and government scientists has presented concerning stats regarding the population size of Leach’s Storm-petrels, a vulnerable seabird that was found on Baccalieu Island. The study indicates that Leach’s storm-petrel is not only facing man-made pressures but is also responding to changing climatic conditions. The seabirds help the aquatic and terrestrial ecosystem by depositing large volumes of nutrient-rich feces and other waste. Previous studies have shown that the seabird population has been declining in recent decades even before human interference.
