Tony - I think after the experience in Western Australia at Esperance a
couple of years back, the Australian Wildlife Health co-ordinators and
registry take these matters quite seriously.
This is the hyperlink to be able to make a report and then the authorities
can determine if there is a problem. Which there may be - certainly
something for wildlife management officers to be aware of - if they aren't
already. It seems appauling that a tourism operator would go in to clean up
the carcasses to protect their business. If there is a disease issue they
could be placing themselves and their clients at risk.
I have cc'd to Tiggy with the Australian Wildlife Health Network as she
might offer some further advice.
Please let me know if I can help in anyway.

Subject: Why so many dead birds on Michaelmas Cay?
A couple of South Africa enthusiasts asked me recently "why were there so
many dead birds on Michaelmas Cay"? In fact they reported that the beaches
around this small cay were covered in them to such a degree that at least
one tourist operator was going ashore before the visitors to clear up the
carcasses each day to avoid embarrassment. Anyone have any ideas? is this
normal at such nesting sites? Or could this popular destination be over
exploited?
Regards,
Tony
