Description
Ms Andrea Angel, who heads up the Albatross Task Force, will explain how she and her team set about reducing the at-sea threat to seabirds off our coast through their research, implementing mitigating measures and promoting policy and fisheries legislation. Our oceans are renowned for their seabird diversity (over 25 species), but sadly their interaction with more than 300 commercial fishing vessels pose a major problem to their survival. There is an urgent need for sound management of this situation as both elements are of vital importance.
