AB One of the main constraints to the enlargement of the Natura 2000 network to marine environments is the lack of research on marine habitats and species far from the coast. Therefore, it is important to refine the information on the target species populations and implement standardized and cost-effective census methodologies that may allow a constant long-term surveillance mechanism of their conservation status. In this sense, aerial surveys are one of the better ways to estimate distribution, abundance and habitat use by marine birds occurring along the Portuguese and Galician coast. In order to identify these potential areas and give tools to the conservation it’s of prime interest to: Understand the distribution and abundance of seabirds in Portuguese and Galician continental waters with special reference to Balearic shearwater, and Northern gannet; Identify the habitat preferences of the Balearic shearwater and Northern gannet in Portuguese and Galician continental waters; Understand the impact of by-catch in the seabirds.
