Sea Birds experience pollution risks from several sources:
In the Arctic nesting grounds increasing precipation of air borne pollutants
which may enter the food chain in the plankton.
In the shipping lanes bilge oil dumping and oil spills fouling feathers and drowning the birds.
In the Southern oceans the albatcross is being impacted by getting caught by drift lines and killed by the ingestion of sterofoam plastic which is now a world wide infestionation in our oceans.
Are we humans earning our own Ancient Mariner's Curse?
