Analysis reveals seabird and vessel co-occurrence in Alaska, indicating risk of bycatch and oil spills.

Seabirds face higher risk during summer when vessel traffic peaks, leading to increased bycatch and collisions.
Overlap between seabirds and vessels was assessed using satellite data from 2015 to 2022, showing significant risk areas.
The analysis includes data from the North Pacific Pelagic Seabird Database, covering critical seabird seasons for risk evaluation.
Findings highlight the need for targeted conservation strategies to reduce vessel-related impacts on seabirds and marine wildlife.

Kapsar et al. (2025) studied this question.
