Beyond plastic, gannets are facing a "perfect storm" of environmental stressors:

Warming waters are driving key prey species, like mackerel and capelin, further north. This forces gannets to fly longer distances for food, increasing their energy expenditure and decreasing breeding success. Download File Barbera & Collar - Gannet.zip

One of the most pressing issues identified in the research is the high incidence of . Gannets often mistake brightly colored plastic, such as red fishing lines or synthetic nets, for nesting material. Beyond plastic, gannets are facing a "perfect storm"

Immature gannets are significantly more likely to be affected, with entanglement rates nearly 30 times higher than those of adults. This creates a "bottleneck" that threatens the future growth of the population. A Multi-Pronged Ecological Threat like mackerel and capelin
