Now that the first chicks have hatched, things are getting busy for the 700-odd kittiwake pairs at Splash Point.
At other colonies in the UK kittiwake numbers are declining, so it's a big relief to see lots of healthy chicks at Seaford, with some nests even containing two youngsters.
The declines are thought to be connected with a lack of sand-eel fish (the kittiwake's main food source) in the seas around the sites, most likely linked to climate change. These population declines have led to the kittiwake being amber listed as a species of conservation concern - something we should all be worried about.
Getting serious
It's that point in our relationship where we need to talk! You see, this is currently an important time for our marine wildlife, and you can help protect it.
A Marine and Coastal Access Bill is currently being debated by Parliament and is due to pass into law later this year. Through our Safeguard our sea life campaign we are asking for a network of marine zones to be created and given legal protection. This will ensure the continued health of the sea, plus the survival of the wildlife that depends on it.
Visit our viewpoint to see firsthand what's at stake if we don't get the Marine Bill right. You can also find out how seabirds are doing at other sites across the UK with our safeguard our sea life blog.
