During the MMBI RAS comprehensive marine expeditions on the research vessel "Dalnie Zelenetsy", ornithological observations are regularly conducted. The spring voyage of 2025, which lasted from March 8 to April 6, was no exception. Birds were counted along the entire route by a single observer, within a 180° sector covering all water areas visible to the naked eye.
