Albatrosses

The legendary albatross - the Southern Oceans most spectacular seabird - is a highly endangered species. Longline fishing have been really bad news for the population of albatrosses. The population drops 5-10% every year and if this is not stopped, there will be no albatrosses left in about 20-30 years.
