[摘要] In 1990, as part of the Beach Patrol Scheme, 4145 km of coast of New Zealand were patrolled and 7145 dead seabirds found. An unusual find was a White Tern (Gygis alba). A summary is given of the coastal and monthly distributions of the eight Phalacrocorax, Leucocarbo and Stictocarbo species found during the 1943-1990 period. The Spotted Shag (Stictocarbo punctatus) was the most frequently found, mainly during February to June on Canterbury and Otago beaches.
