    Unreferenced stub auto yes date December 2009 An urchin barren is an area of the subtidal where the population growth of sea urchin s has gone unchecked, causing destructive grazing of kelp bed s or kelp forest s specifically the giant brown bladder kelp, Macrocystis . Sea urchins eat kelp holdfasts but also climb on kelp to graze on the stipes and fronds. This can be caused by a lack of sea otter s or other predators in the area, which makes it extremely important to protect the ecological balance in a kelp forest.

This seabird mainly breeds seabird colony colonially in the Kerguelen Islands , as its common name implies. However, smaller colonies are also found in the Prince Edward Islands i.e. Prince Edward Island South Africa Prince Edward and Marion Island Marion and Crozet Islands . The total number of individuals is from 3,500 6,500 birds, although there is no recent data from the main colony at Kerguelen. These birds do not inhabit Kerguelen proper, instead nesting on islets free of feral cat s. During bad weather, they are known to abandon their colonies. Kerguelen Terns are among the least ranging of all typical terns. They generally do not reach far into the seas near their breeding grounds. These birds eat fish and marine invertebrates , especially those found in beds of the seaweed Macrocystis Macrocystis spp. They sometimes also hunt insects on land and catch fish from rivers on Kerguelen.
