The testing and refinement of mitigation measures is vital in order to realise reductions in seabird bycatch.
Estimamos la mortalidad de #albatros y #petreles y probamos medidas de #mitigacion en arrastreros australes en nuestro mar. Hicimos 茅nfasis en el tercer cable 鈥搎ue conecta electr贸nicamente el buque con la red- que puede ser cambiado por sondas inal谩mbricas en ciertos casos.

Albatrosses & petrels traverse vast areas of the open ocean & cross multiple national borders, making conservation efforts challenging. The #HighSeasTreaty could herald a significant moment for their conservation, offering a framework to address the numerous challenges they face.
馃憦 Thank you to governments at the UN for adopting the #HighSeasTreaty! 馃寧 We now need you to urgently ratify the Treaty so it can enter into force and protect marine biodiversity in the #HighSeas, for the sake of all life on Earth. #BBNJ

Plastic is found in 90 percent of all seabirds. #WorldAlbatrossDay draws attention to #plasticpollution, a problem that is also heavily affecting albatrosses. A UN Treaty on plastic pollution is an important step addressing the plastics crisis & helping these iconic species!
