New data on the population connectivity of seabirds are required to reduce uncertainty in population viability analyses by the incorporation of metapopulation dynamics. Here, we focus on the Atlantic black-legged kittiwake: a wide-ranging, long-lived seabird. Quantifying kittiwake population connectivity is of particular interest as the total number of kittiwake breeding pairs is in decline, but with contrasting population trends regionally.

Offshore wind developments are expanding across North Atlantic shelf seas. The overarching aim of this project is to improve biological realism in the evaluation of offshore windfarm impacts and to support the application and use of ecosystem science in this new era of offshore marine renewable energy.

A comprehensive understanding of population connectivity in marine species is required for sustainable, ecosystem-based marine spatial planning. The black-legged kittiwake Rissa tridactyla is a conservation priority seabird of international importance. Historic analyses demonstrate that kittiwakes emigrate over short and long distances, yet there remains a lack of knowledge of their dispersal and colony source-sink dynamics at differing temporal and spatial scales. The overarching goal of this PhD is to identify, and thus facilitate the protection of, local populations with disproportionate contribution to the establishment and maintenance of UK and North Sea kittiwake colonies. Furthermore, we aim to facilitate appropriate high level management decisions towards protecting colonies likely to interact with future offshore wind developments.
