Coastal seaweed is a must-have for migrating seabirds

New study shows that tidal seaweed, or sea wrack, “plays a vital role for many migratory seabirds and should be protected.” Along with providing shelter and food, “sea wrack acts like a reverse-cycle air conditioner, creating cooler conditions when the weather is hot and [vice versa], helping seabirds regulate their body temperatures.” - Excerpts from the University of South Australia
