About Marine Ornithology

Marine Ornithology presents peer reviewed contributions concerning international seabird science and conservation.

Marine Ornithology is supported and published biannually through a partnership between global seabird societies including the African Seabird Group, the Pacific Seabird Group (PSG), the Australasian Seabird Group, the Seabird Group (U.K.), and the Dutch Seabird Group.

Marine Ornithology: an International Journal of Seabird research and Conservation is published by the Pacific Seabird Group on behalf of a consortium of seabird groups: African, Australasian, Dutch, Pacific and UK. The journal is overseen by a steering committee appointed by the supporting seabird societies.

Marine Ornithology (originally named, "Cormorant") was founded by John Cooper and the African Seabird group in 1976. Since 2000, the production of the journal has been taken over by the Pacific Seabird Group, acting on behalf of the consortium of seabird groups. It is currently run by a managing editor (Tony Gaston, Canada) and has three regional editors, for Europe (Rob Barrett, Norway), North America and North Pacific (Scott Hatch, Alaska, USA) and the southern hemisphere (John Cooper, South Africa).

Marine Ornithology is published both in hard copy and in electronic form at this, the Marine Ornithology website. For those browsing the electronic version of the journal, papers are available in Portable Document Format (PDF) so that they can be captured as exact facsimile of the printed version for reading or printing. There is no charge for viewing or downloading papers posted by Marine Ornithology. Marine Ornithology continues to be published in hard copy for those who wish to subscribe and for archiving in institutional libraries.
