Balearic shearwaters are long-lived but Critically Endangered mainly because of declines driven by fisheries by-catch, as they can get caught on baited longline hooks and gill nets.

Similarly a 2023 study in the Journal of Hazardous Materials found that flesh-footed shearwaters are suffering from a disease called fibrosis as they accumulate scar tissue from eating too much plastic pollution.

Audubon’s shearwater, a seabird named for John James Audubon, also will get a new name.

Although it cannot be known for certain, it is possible that the shearwater was capable of escaping from the typhoon but instead chose to ride it out until the storm moved back over the ocean.

As well as puffins, there are razorbills, kittiwakes, Manx shearwaters, guillemots and fulmars.
