Increased tropical cyclones due to global heating could lead to dramatic declines in seabird populations, with an 80-90% collapse seen on Bedout Island after Cyclone Ilsa. The loss of breeding adults and slow recovery post-cyclone poses significant threats to seabird populations.
Seabirds are vital for maintaining tropical reefs, and the loss of these birds due to cyclones could further stress ecosystems. Lessons from Bedout Island's devastation provide insights into the broader implications of severe cyclone impacts on seabird populations worldwide.
