BirdLife International’s Albatross Task Force (ATF) currently works in five South American countries that experience seabird bycatch in their longline fisheries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay, all of which are Parties to ACAP.

To improve communication with South American fishers, the ATF has produced an illustrated leaflet in Spanish (click here).  The eight-page leaflet identifies the problem of seabird mortality on longlines and introduces the ATF’s South American instructors.
