WORKSHOP SUMMARIES 

One of the main objectives of the the 1st World Seabird Conference was to hold discussions on establishing, facilitating and/or improving access to, and use of, information and data on seabirds which would benefit from interaction and integration of regional and/or global scales. Workshops at the 1st WSC were organized into two groups:

(1) Legacy Workshops on Global Seabird Web Portals, Indices, and Databases; and
(2) Invited Sessions Workshops. 

The following are workshop abstracts and workshop outcomes summarized by the convenor(s) of each workshop.
