Population justification: This is not a particularly rare bird at sea, and the total population runs into thousands, if not tens of thousands. Based on this judgement, the population is placed in the range 2,500-9,999 mature individuals.

Trend justification: The current population trend is unknown (see Symes et al. 2015).
