The UK’s coastal and seabird species are a vital part of its natural heritage, with each species playing an important role in the coastal ecosystem. From the dramatic plunge dives of the gannet to the graceful migrations of the Arctic tern, these birds contribute to the rich biodiversity of the UK’s marine environments.
