Do you want individual bird sounds or a general seabird colony type backing track?

I am not aware of any seabird specific collections but if you want individual sounds then Xeno-Canto is the best spot http://www.xeno-canto.org/

If you want general background, then you would be looking at sound effect collections rather than natural history type products but they don't generally run to 30 mins. But you could always loop them and put in some wave crashes to cover the loop. A good five minute one here http://sounds.bl.uk/Environment/Sound-effects/022M-GOTHICXXXXXX-0007V0

Youtube is a great place for such things, https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=m9svbVkoGYc

These folk do lots of very long background sounds but I can't find a seabird one https://www.youtube.com/user/SoundLikeTube/feed

Here's a book/CD combo - Petrels Night & Day - http://soundapproach.co.uk/book/petrels-night-day

It covers the North Atlantic seabirds, paying special attention to their vocalizations. All the Sound Approach books are great, but this one especially has some great accounts and illustrations.
