As part of the project, scientists tracked the movements of Wandering albatross to better understand their interactions with fisheries. The data collected enabled scientists to map areas where Wandering albatross are most at risk from bycatch and identify the countries who fish there.
With various fisheries and countries identified, the results highlight how important it is to work with multiple stakeholders, including fisheries managers, operators and crew to protect the future of these iconic sentinels of the sea.
