Sowohl Möwen als auch Seeschwalben werden seit langem wegen ihres weichen weißen und grauen Gefieders verfolgt, das wegen der Verzierung von Frauenhüten begehrt ist. Da die Zerstörung der Vögel auf den Inseln, auf denen sie brüten, bald die ganze Rasse zerstören würde, werden Bemühungen von den Liebhabern der Vögel unternommen, um die Vögel auf allen denandy Punkten oder felsigen Inseln zu schützen, wo sie ihre Jungen züchten.
