The BirdLife International Global Seabird Programme intends holding a tracking meeting to discuss future opportunities for the database and review progress so far. The half-day meeting will be held immediately before the Fourth International Conference on the Biology and Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels in Cape Town South Africa on the afternoon of Sunday 10 August at the conference venue (see http://iapc4.adu.org.za).

The tracking database has proven an invaluable conservation tool over the last four years. Thanks to the collaboration of scientists worldwide it continues to expand as new data sets are added. In the next few months it is hoped to establish a website for the database.
