BirdLife's Save the Albatross Campaign |
|
| |
BirdLife's Save the Albatross Campaign was formally launched at the British Birdwatching Fair in 2000. However, prior to that, BirdLife had been active in the conservation of the world's seabirds.The overall Save the Albatross campaign title is to reduce the number of seabird death caused by the longlining fishing industry to a sustainable level.
To achieve this, over the next two years, BirdLife will focus on:
Raising public awareness of the problem. Urge governments of relevant longlining nations to develop and implement National Plans of Action within the UN FAO framework. Urge governments of relevant longlining nations to sign and ratify ACAP and implement its conservation actions. Work closely with Regional Fishery Management Organisations (RFMOs) to ensure that seabird mitigation measures are routinely adopted during fishing operations. Urge international and national authorities to tackle the illegal "Pirate" fishing industry. Monitor and evaluate the by-catch problem, assessing the latest available scientific evidence on seabird populations. Collaborate with relevant bodies to promote and develop effective solutions and mitigation measures. Resource and equip national BirdLife Partners to campaign on this issue world-wide, and ensure a co-ordinated and cohesive campaign is delivered at global, regional and national levels.
