People affect seabirds Especially when we get too close
1. Low Flying Aircraft *birdstrike
2. Close approaching boats, Kayaks, personal watercraft
3. Humans on Foot

Seabirds can harm pilots too!
Roy Lowe
• Low over flights can be hazardous to pilots! • Bird strikes cause more than $600 million in
damages each year, and have taken the lives of over 350 people worldwide! – www.birdstrike.org – The National Wildlife Strike Database
![Page 23: First page - Microsoft · Command 1998, ~1,500 dead . Cosco Busan 2007 ... Devil’s Slide Rock ... 1,000’ over-flight prohibition within one mile of the](https://reader031.vdocuments.site/reader031/viewer/2022030616/5ae1d4c37f8b9a495c8b5867/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Bird Strike Facts • 76 % GA strikes occur at or below 500’ AGL • Above 500’ AGL, the number of strikes
declines by 44% with each 1,000’ gain in height
• Avoid low altitudes to minimize risk!

Avoid a Birdstrike
• Avoid marsh lands, seabird nesting areas, landfills, and migration routes.
• Avoid flying at low altitudes during the seabird
nesting season (February-August)
• Check wildlife strike resources for recent incidents and tips to avoid strikes

“Try to stay in the middle of the air. Do not go near the edges of it. The edges of air can be recognized by the appearance of ground, buildings, sea, trees, and interstellar space. It is much more difficult to fly there.”
