Thank you! The infographics and a short animation (➡️ https://seabirdtracking.org/case-studies/marine-flyways/) were created by @scianimationstudio.bsky.social

Tracking data from 48 long-distance pelagic #seabird species, shared by >100 collaborators, were analysed to reveal the consistent & repeatable #migratory routes, including a circumpolar navigation of the Southern Ocean & transhemispheric ‘figures of 8’ in the Pacific & Atlantic oceans

The six marine #flyways cover extensive areas of the world’s oceans and illustrate the broad-scale movements and connectivity of multiple #seabird populations and species during their annual cycle

The marine #flyways concept can help coordinate collaborative #conservation efforts for migratory #seabirds, building on the successes of the existing flyways for land and waterbirds

The Seabird Tracking Database https://seabirdtracking.org provided an opportunity to identify the marine flyways
