A marine heatwave in 2023/24 caused mass seabird deaths in Australia due to starvation, raising concerns about future crises.
In 2023/24, thousands of seabirds washed ashore in Australia, prompting scientific concern over a potential ecological crisis.
Citizen scientists documented mass die-offs, with some finding one dead bird every four meters, and marine researchers link the event to a marine heatwave that disrupted food supplies, leaving migratory seabirds starved.
Data show the birds were unusually thin, indicating starvation.
With ocean temperatures projected to rise, experts warn future heatwaves could worsen the crisis, especially if paired with a highly contagious H5 bird flu outbreak.
Though the government has invested nearly $36 million in preparedness, scientists and volunteers urge the creation of a national seabird monitoring program to track and respond to future events.
