  abstract = {{P}lastic pollution is distributed patchily around the world's oceans. {L}ikewise, marine organisms that are vulnerable to plastic ingestion or entanglement have uneven distributions. {U}nderstanding where wildlife encounters plastic is crucial for targeting research and mitigation. {O}ceanic seabirds, particularly petrels, frequently ingest plastic, are highly threatened, and cover vast distances during foraging and migration. {H}owever, the spatial overlap between petrels and plastics is poorly understood. {H}ere we combine marine plastic density estimates with individual movement data for 7137 birds of 77 petrel species to estimate relative exposure risk. {W}e identify high exposure risk areas in the {M}editerranean and {B}lack seas, and the northeast {P}acific, northwest {P}acific, {S}outh {A}tlantic and southwest {I}ndian oceans. {P}lastic exposure risk varies greatly among species and populations, and between breeding and non-breeding seasons. {E}xposure risk is disproportionately high for {T}hreatened species. {O}utside the {M}editerranean and {B}lack seas, exposure risk is highest in the high seas and {E}xclusive {E}conomic {Z}ones ({EEZ}s) of the {USA}, {J}apan, and the {UK}. {B}irds generally had higher plastic exposure risk outside the {EEZ} of the country where they breed. {W}e identify conservation and research priorities, and highlight that international collaboration is key to addressing the impacts of marine plastic on wide-ranging species. {P}etrels are wide-ranging, highly threatened seabirds that often ingest plastic. {T}his study used tracking data for 7,137 petrels of 77 species to map global exposure risk and compare regions, species, and populations. {T}he results show higher exposure risk for threatened species and stress the need for international cooperation to tackle marine litter.},
