Abstract
All nesting species of seabirds in Jamaica are exploited or seriously disturbed by people. The species which are most affected are sooty terns Sterna fuscata and brown noddies Anous stolidus. Collection of eggs for the local luxury market is the most detrimental form of exploitation. The evidence of a decline in the Jamaican populations and the possible causes of this decline are reviewed. Past and present management strategies are critically evaluated and recommendations made for future policy and research.
