# Seabird journals and bulletins: a listing

 A number of scientific journals and bulletins are dedicated to publishing articles on seabirds, and several of them regularly contain material of relevance to the biology and conservation of ACAP-listed species.  A list follows.  Readers are requested to e-mail the ACAP Information Officer ([**John.Cooper@acap.aq**](mailto:John.Cooper@acap.aq)) with information on relevant publications not listed. Note: a separate listing is available for newsletters that deal with procellariiform species and/or bycatch issues [[click here](https://acap.aq/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=177&Itemid=58)].
