The bank cormorant is a marine bird that prefers inshore waters, rarely venturing further than 10 km from land, and is generally found over kelp beds where they forage. Their preferred breeding habitats are exposed rocky outcrops, islets, stacks and offshore islands, but they occasionally also breed on human constructions such as breakwaters. Most breeding sites are near the high tide level and exposed to sea spray (2).
