2023's Cyclone Ilsa killed 80% of seabirds nesting on Bedout Island, linked to climate change's influence on tropical cyclone frequency and intensity.
Climate change is increasing tropical cyclone frequency and intensity, potentially leading to dramatic declines in seabird populations. A study published in Communications Earth & Environment found that Cyclone Ilsa killed at least 80% of seabirds nesting on Bedout Island in April 2023. As cyclone frequency and intensity rise, seabird species' ecosystem and community recovery become strained, with the impact on seabird populations still unclear.
