Description: Aotearoa New Zealand is considered the seabird capital of the world with a diverse assemblage of seabird species nesting and foraging along our coasts and offshore including many endemic species. These can be divided into 5 major groups including Albatross, shearwater, penguins, petrels, and shags, as well as a variety of shore birds. For many species, New Zealand is their only breeding ground, while for others it is an essential stop during long migrations. Major threats for seabirds and shorebirds onshore include habitat destruction and degradation due to land development, erosion, and pollution, predation by pets and pest animals as well as other predatory birds, and trampling or disturbance of nesting areas. Offshore, seabirds face direct fishing mortality, declining food sources and pollution, particularly plastics which can fill their guts and those of their chicks when consumed. This map contains locations that have been identified as important areas for foraging and breeding of seabirds and shorebirds by regional councils (accessed in 2020) and other sources including Forest &amp; Bird/BirdLife International and the Handbook of the Birds of the World 2019. Important Bird Area (IBA) polygons are included with data on species present to provide information on how many and which species are breeding at each colony.<div><br /></div><div>Colony locations are subject to change and the most recent information for these areas should be confirmed in each region. Offshore sightings are subject to misidentification though data collectors are responsible for confirming data quality. These data have been pooled from many sources, therefore their integration is not straightforward and are limited to presence only data, though these observations are likely relatively complete due to strong public interest.</div><div><br /></div><div>Lundquist, C., Stephenson, F., McCartain, L., Watson, S., Brough, T., Nelson, W., Neill, K., Anderson, T., Anderson, O., Bulmer, R., Gee, E., Pinkerton, M., Rowden, A., Thompson, D.
