To identify and analyse the variables that influence the pattern of distribution and abundance of marine birds at sea;

To identify general methods of identifying important bird areas and defining criteria that apply to the IBA program;

To publish an inventory of national marine IBA's for use in future designations of Economic Exclusion Zones (EEZ's) at sea.
