Australasian Seabird Group (ASG)

Established in 1971, the Australasian Seabird Group (ASG) is a Special Interest Group of two of the largest non-government organisations dedicated to the conservation and study of birds in Australasia and the South Pacific: BirdLife Australia and Birds New Zealand. 

We pursue these objectives through a range of activities, including:

• Publishing a regular bulletin, as well as other seabird-related material;

• Organising symposia to discuss issues that affect seabirds (held at biennial Australasian Ornithological Conferences);

• Providing expert opinion on the management and conservation of seabird populations in our region; and

• Providing support for projects, such as surveys of seabird breeding islands, at-sea surveys and beach patrols.
