Proposed for listing under the U.S. Endangered Species Act but a decision to not list this species was made by the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service in 2013.

CIES and the Navy are developing a long-term monitoring plan for storm-petrels.

In 2009 the breeding population was less than 100 on the island.

Monitoring (mist-net captures and nest searches) is required to determine breeding status and timing and to measure population trends.

Population and habitat use data may assist the Navy in future conservation efforts.
