I had the privilege of being involved with the rat eradication project on
Anacapa-- probably one of the most beneficial projects for seabirds (and an
entire ecosystem) in the US.

There are several short videos about the project here:

I recommend, for starters, the 4-min video that was done 10 years after the
project.

Note that similar issues affect seabird colonies around the world.
