Predicting seabird-vessel interactions from bird-borne data alone
Seabirds often follow fishing vessels to scavenge discards and bait, benefiting from access to food but also facing the risk of bycatch. Exposure to bycatch is commonly assessed by analysing seabird-fishing interactions, typically through the spatiotemporal alignment of seabird and vessel tracking data. However, this approach may underestimate interactions when vessel tracking information is…
