Through population growth, the passage of time, and the advancement of technology, development inevitably happens, but how to create development and pay attention to its sustainability by considering various indicators and comprehensive foresight is principal. Examining the biological and ecological conditions of seabirds over time at Musa multi-branch Creek (Khur-e Musa) and offshore Islands is one of the indicators in an aquatic ecosystem that can indicate the success or failure of sustainable development management. This study measured the status of the population and breeding habitats of the Lesser crested Tern, Swift Tern, and Bridled Tern in Khur-e Musa Islands and nearby areas, and the changes of the last decades in the development path were examined. The results indicated unbalanced development at Khur-e Musa. Lack of education and promotion, lack of attention to scientific standards and guidelines, lack of adherence to international protocols and agreements, and lack of adequate budget allocation for independent environmental studies were evaluated among the principal factors of development instability and need to be modified. It is recommended to change the management approach and become environmentally friendly.
