The number of them was getting lowest and in each year they must to work hard to be able to survive.  Punta Tombo colony population shrink 22 percent since 1987, when the first census carried out. Excessive fishing and the loss of sea ice force the birds to swim 40 miles more far from their nest then 10 years ago only to find some food.
