Ireland finally took steps for our Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), as Ministers O’Brien and Dooley approved the drafting of Maritime Area Planning (Marine Protected Areas) (Amendment) Bill 2026. Now, the real work begins. Learn more about what this amendment means and what's next: bit.ly/44vo70e

On World Seabird Day, we celebrate 3 incredible seabird species that breed on the Maltese Islands. Discover some of the fascinating adaptations that allow them to thrive between land & sea: the European Storm Petrel, Scopoli’s Shearwater, & the Yelkouan Shearwater. #WorldSeabirdDay #BirdLifeMalta

Today is #WorldSeabirdDay, marking the day the Great Auk was last seen in 1844. Let's ensure no other #seabirds go #extinct by ensuring they have safe spaces to breed & feed. Everyone can help by checking bags & boats before visiting #islands & remaining vigilant for #invasive predators like rats.

Today is #WorldSeabirdDay !🐧 Worldwide, there are 365 seabird species grouped into 17 families.🌎 BirdLife’s Seabird Tracking Database hosts one of the most comprehensive collections of seabird tracking data, helping address the growing threats to seabirds. Discover more👉 www.seabirdtracking.org

Exciting news for seabird and ocean conservation: governments have formally recognised marine flyways at #CMSCOP15! Read how marine flyways can benefit migratory seabirds in this @mongabay.com article by BirdLife's @tammyedavies.bsky.social and Aline Kühl-Stenzel ➡️ tinyurl.com/MongabayMarFly

Fantastic news from #CMSCOP15: 40 migratory animal species receive new or upgraded protection. This includes 16 gadfly petrels (15 species + 2 subspecies) added to Appendix II and 9 gadfly species added to Appendix I, plus Flesh-footed Shearwater added to Appendix II 🌊🌏🥳

At #CMSCOP15, participants welcomed the six global marine flyways based on seabird tracking data analyzed by @birdlifeglobal.bsky.social—especially given seabirds are among the most threatened migratory animals globally, with more than half of their species in decline. #ConnectingNature @cms.int
