The project sought to identify whether experienced experts could identify captured seabirds from video clips provided from the onboard camera programme.
A total of 492 clips were provided for review, and a total of 777 seabirds were recorded comprising 26 species. Expert reviewers were able to positively identify the seabirds to species in 97% (477) of all clips compared to 41% accuracy by the MPI footage review team. A higher level of agreement was achieved with DOC expedited reviewers achieving 77–87% agreement.
The project demonstrated that the use of experts with experience in seabird identification can ensure rapid and accurate identification of seabirds from camera footage.
