    Abstract

    India, with its extensive coastline, is home to a diverse array of seabirds. The Arabian Sea, Lakshadweep Sea, Bay of Bengal, and the island groups of Lakshadweep and Andaman-Nicobar offer varied habitats for these birds. The estuaries and mangrove ecosystems along the coastlines, and the neritic and pelagic zones of the country’s vast EEZ combine to form unhindered foraging grounds for a significant number of coastal and oceanic birds. India’s tropical location attracts seabirds from both the Northern and Southern Hemispheres, as they migrate away from their breeding grounds in search of more favourable wintering conditions. The inferences presented are based on personal observations and other published records, including those available in the online global database eBird.
