Seychelles Bird Records Committee was
formed with the aim of advancing our knowledge of the birds of Seychelles through pursuit
of the following objectives:
- To collect information and records relating to the status
of all birds observed from the islands of Seychelles and their surrounding ocean, as
defined by the internationally recognised Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the country.
This area is within 200 nautical miles of the nearest island of Seychelles, except to the
southern boundary, which is truncated by seas under the jurisdiction of Madagascar, France
(Iles Glorieuses) and Mauritius (Agalega).
- To assess reports of all birds considered to be of less
than annual occurrence within the Seychelles EEZ and to permanently maintain the original
bird record submissions made by observers together with all Committee comments and votes.
- To publish summary details of all accepted records,
encourage publication by observers of first records for Seychelles and to maintain a
national list of bird recorded in Seychelles EEZ.
- To provide all persons or bodies interested in the study
of birds if Seychelles with scientific data pertaining to bird sight records.
- To increase awareness of and interest in the birds of
Seychelles both nationally and internationally.
