To get this information, HELCOM is conducting holistic assessments, which include various components of the Baltic Sea ecosystem. Seabirds (marine birds including coastal waterbirds) are substantial components at various levels of the food web and serve as herbivores of littoral vegetation and predators of macroinvertebrates, fish, other birds, carcasses and fishery discard in the Baltic marine environment. While breeding seabirds are concentrated along and around their breeding sites at the coast or on islands, non-breeding seabirds are distributed across the entire marine area of the Baltic Sea.
