The Conservation Services Programme Seabird medium term research plan 2016 (CSP seabird plan 2016) outlines a five year research programme to deliver on the seabird population research component of CSP. This proposal delivers priority research components of the CSP seabird plan 2016 involving field work at the Chatham Islands. The proposal has been developed to maximise cost and logistical efficiencies between objectives therefore multiple species have been combined in a single project. These species are Chatham Island, Northern royal and Northern Buller’s albatrosses, Northern giant petrel and Pitt and Chatham Island shags. It is envisaged that a variety of methods will be used, including ground-based counts, aerial survey, boat-based survey and satellite imagery derived counts. Methods will be developed and tailored to each species and site
