Target description
Number of incidentally caught specimens, as verified through official data collection processes and analysis of stranded specimens, shows a declining trend.
The proportion of breeding seabird population and distribution, that is subject to disturbance as a result of light pollution, rat predation and other anthropogenic activities is reduced. This is related to D1C2, D1C3 and D1C4.
