There is no updated stock census of Procellariformes since the work of Monteiro et al. (1999) at regional level (all AAR) to measure the actual distribution area of the various species and total population and to assess GES.

Habitat for the species is a secondary criterion for seabirds (Commission Decision (EU) 2017/848, 2017). No information or monitoring schemes are available on the habitat of seabirds. This criterion refers to the state of the marine habitat. Seabirds, large migratory birds, may experience pressures in their feeding and/or wintering areas not covered by the current monitoring programmes due to a lack of knowledge on the distribution of some species, sex and age classes and monitoring challenges at sea (Lewison et al., 2012).

The population of the Azores is estimated to account for around 75 % of the world breeding population (BirdLife International, 2018). The total population estimate of Monteiro et al. (1999) was 403.920 individuals in 1996 in the Azores. Bolton (2001a), on the basis of the methodology developed by Feio (1997), estimated that the number of breeding pairs for calerros corresponds to the number of birds observed in January divided by a factor of 2,14, i.e. around 188.000 pairs. It was decided to maintain this population estimate of 1996 in the Report on Article 12 of the Birds Directive (2013-2018, SRMCT 2019a). Data collected in 2001 showed clearly a smaller number of chargros in life-rafts than on the 1996 census (Bolton, 2001a). While there are possible justifications for this decline, other than a real depletion of the breeding population, the large reduction in the number of chargins and the geographical pattern of its decline throughout the archipelago are reasons for some concern. The change in the number of chargros in janged cannot be explained by differences in the methodology or experience of the observers between the two censuses. It is uncertain whether the observed decline reflects inter-annual variations (given the long period between the 2 estimates), behavioural differences, or genuine mortality (Fontaine et al, 2011). There is a need to learn more about the behaviour of a liferaft, the factors influencing the inter-annual variability of birds in such liferafts, as well as the proportion of breeding birds which are part of them, in order to improve the population estimates of this species.

There is no updated stock census of Procellariformes since the work of Monteiro et al.

The garden centres on the coast of all the islands of the Azores, mainly in the islets and the inaccessible cliffs, and the population of the Azores is estimated to account for some 75 % of the size of the world?s breeding population (BirdLife International).

Population estimates of this species were made in the AAR mainly in the 1996s and 1997s and occasional listening was carried out in the following years, and the nesting population was estimated through night taps following the Monteiro et al. method (1999), with known colonies on islets and on the coast of all islands of the archipelago except the Terceira (Nevis, 2008).

Refined and Neves, 2015). There is no data on the total population, however the regular monitoring carried out in the 3 main colonies (Ihaia da Praia, Baixo and Vila) shows that the population in these colonies is stable. In 2017 SPEA registered a new nesting colony in the SSPA project in (Flores island) by means of eavesdropping, which has increased the extent of known distribution of the species, however data are still being processed and there is no associated population estimate, so that it will only be possible to present this information in the next reporting cycle (MISIC SECO II Consortium, 2018).

The population estimates of the Garajaus (Charadriiformes) show noticeable inter-annual fluctuations observed in the annual censuses that make it difficult to assess their status. Only with long data series will it be possible to understand whether the observed changes between the different sampling periods are natural variability or whether other factors, such as anthropogenic pressures, affect the status of seabird populations in the Azores.
