The feeding patterns of seabirds around the UK coastline can be can used to help identify the location of possible marine protection areas, a study says.
Researchers compiled data on 25 species' foraging behaviour, adding that feeding sites played a vital role in the success of breeding colonies.
There is just one Marine Conservation Zone in English waters but a network is expected to be decided by 2013.
The findings appear in the journal Biological Conservation.
