Save The Atlantic Albatross
- van: Hazel Seymour

Please sign my petition to save the Atlantic Albatross and 16 other different species of birds from extinction. In tuna and swordfish fisheries, albatrosses and other seabirds die on the end of longline hooks in unsustainable numbers and, for many species, this is their greatest extinction threat.
The Albatross is rapidly declining on South Georgia, and links have been made between these declining populations and longline fishing within the ICCAT fishery.
We will be urging delegates to approve rules that make it mandatory for all vessels fishing for tuna and swordfish in the Atlantic to abide by simple measures which lower the risk of albatrosses and other seabirds dying in these fisheries. Please act now to save these beautiful birds.. Thank you..
