Dear All

In the first week of April 2002 Falklands Conservation will colour-mark around 10,000 young black-browed albatross (BBA) (Thalassarche melanophrys) from a large breeding colony on the Steeple Jason Island (an island owned by the World Conservation Society). The aim of the project is to identify the dispersal pattern of fledgling BBA. Nic Huin's satellite tracking data of adult breeding birds has given us a good understanding of their movements, but we know very little about the dispersal of juveniles. The project is an important step in understanding the decline of BBA in the Falkland Islands, and it may help us to target future research, particularly in relation to age specific population decline. Anecdotal evidence suggests the birds will travel north up the Patagonian Shelf and concentrate in southern Brazil, where Tatiana Neves (Projecto Albatros) will be deploying observers as part of this project. However, individual birds may occur anywhere in the Southern Hemisphere.

Birds will be marked with bright orange paint, on the breast, rump and possibly crown. If you sight a marked albatross please record the date, latitude, longitude, and number of birds plus any other comments. We are particularly interested in records of birds interacting with fishing vessels. We expect the paint to last between 3 4 months so birds could potentially be sighted until the end of July.

Please pass this on to 'at-sea' observers and forward records to: Seabirds at Sea Team, Falklands Conservation, Jetty Centre, Stanley, Falkland Islands, email: seabirds@horizon.co.fk or fc.seabirds@horizon.co.fk

Thanks for your help

TWSG-Forum ---------------------------------------------------------------------- -- Hello, It is difficult to make a precise diagnosis from photographs but it seems likely that the "disease" seen is due to the result of traumatic injuries inflicted from nets (most probably gill nets/monofilament netting). Eiders are very strong, as is such netting, therefore birds with their heads stuck could easily rip the skin and drag it up over their heads when struggling to free themselves. Martin Brown (WWT Animal Health Officer) has seen such injuries in birds including an eider before. I am not sure of the scale of the problem nor the extent of such fishing techniques in the Waddensea - over to our Dutch colleagues.

Message-ID: This came in from Kim Rivera: Subject: [Fwd: Albatross Record] fyi; some of you may have seen this already, thought it may be of interest to you! Kim -------- Original Message -------- Subject: Albatross Record Date: Thu, 11 Apr 2002 09:53:03 -0400 From: "Melanie J Steinkamp" To: kim.rivera@noaa.gov, maura_naughton@fws.gov, Beth_Flint@fws.gov,Craig.Johnson@noaa.gov I thought you all might enjoy this information (Maura - you were there, yes?) It came out of our monthly "Patuxent Highlights." Research Age Record for Laysan Albatross: My news of the week is that while looking up band numbers of albatrosses that I had recaptured on Midway Atoll in February, I discovered that one of them was a Laysan Albatross I had initially banded in 1956. This bird was incubating an egg when I banded it, indicating that it was at least five years old at the time. I had replaced the worn band in 1962, and other colleagues had replaced it again in 1985 and 1993. When I gave this bird its 5th sequential band in February 2002 it was brooding a healthy chick at the age of at least 51 years. This breaks the longevity record for North American birds in the wild, the previous record being for this same species at the age of 42 years 5 months. Contact: Chandler S.

John Cooper *************************************8 Fishing Pirates flaunt Toothfish regulations and move in on Mozambique FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Cape Town, Thursday April 11, 2002: The Antarctic and Southern Ocean Coalition (ASOC) has learnt that Toothfish Pirates are moving in on the Southern African port of Maputo, Mozambique in an attempt to avoid the regulations put in place by the Convention on the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR) to conserve the species. Information gathered by ASOC-Southern Africa, ASOC-Latin America and ASOC member Greenpeace in Australia, highlights that since the middle of March, at least three suspected Pirate(1) fishing vessels have landed or attempted to land Toothfish in Maputo. One is a known pirate vessel with South African connections. The other two vessels were sighted in Antarctic waters claimed by Australia and fly the flag of a CCAMLR member-state. ASOC has information showing that a vessel called the 'Notre Dame' flying a Bolivian flag offloaded 135 tonnes of Toothfish in Maputo in mid-March. The 'Notre Dame' is believed to be the formerly named longliner 'Mare', which until the middle of last year flew a Namibian flag and was allegedly managed by the South African fishing company Hout Bay Fishing Industries. Hout Bay Fishing Industries is currently under investigation in South Africa for involvement in illegal fishing for Patagonian Toothfish and other fish species. Prior to being named the 'Mare' the vessel was owned by Hout Bay Fishing and fished under the name of 'Mare Serenitiatis' for rock lobster. ASOC has been following the activities of the 'Mare' since February of 2001 when it was docked in Cape Town harbour and used a tuna long-line permit issued by Namibia to gear-up as a longliner. Information obtained by ASOC indicated that the vessel was going fishing for toothfish. It did not have authorization from either South Africa or Namibia to do so. In May 2001, the Mare docked in Walvis Bay and offloaded over 40 tonnes of Toothfish without valid documentation indicating that it was legally caught. Fish caught in CCAMLR waters require documentation to ensure they are caught in accordance with CCAMLR conservation measures. CCAMLR members must ensure that all Toothfish entering their markets comes from a documented source. In late July 2001, the Namibian government withdrew the Mare's license to fish for tuna, on the basis that it had violated CCAMLR Conservation Measures for the conservation of the Toothfish. South Africa and Namibia are the only two countries in Southern Africa that are Party to this International Convention. The vessel then seemed to 'disappear' for a time, popping up in various Southern African ports for bait and supplies. Karen Sack, ASOC's Southern Africa Co-ordinator says, "the plunder of the Toothfish in the Southern Ocean highlights the lengths to which fishing pirates will go to access the lucrative international market for endangered fish species. Vessels seem to change names and flags regularly, while their true owners hide behind shell companies so as to avoid detection.' Sack adds, 'the Mozambiquan government seems to be doing what it can to ensure that Maputo does not become a haven for Toothfish Pirates.' She strongly urged the South African Government and CCAMLR to provide support to Mozambique so that the Toothfish Pirates who have been closed out of South Africa and Namibia, do not simply set up shop in a neighbouring State. According to Greenpeace Australia, two fishing vessels, believed to be the same ships landing in Maputo were sighted in January this year within Australian claimed Antarctic waters managed by CCAMLR. When approached by Australian scientists on the Australian vessel the Aurora Australis, the vessels said they were "looking around" and denied any connection with fishing longlines found in the area. Both vessels were flying false flags and bore false names. The 'Arvisa 1'(2). and the 'Dorita', currently flagged to Uruguay - a CCAMLR member, are denying they are the same vessels sighted in January. ASOC has learnt that the 'Arvisa 1' offloaded just over 100 tonnes of Toothfish in mid-March in Maputo. Greenpeace has photographic evidence of these vessels within CCAMLR waters, and yet the pirates are saying they caught the fish outside of CCAMLR waters. ASOC is very concerned that Uruguay may not be adequately 'policing' those of its vessels fishing for Toothfish, thereby undermining CCAMLR's attempts to conserve this species. It also underlines the need for Governments to ensure that established International Agreements work together to regulate fishing activities that are negatively impacting on high-demand fish species . ASOC believes that the Convention on Trade in Endangered Species (CITES) has the muscle to deal with such rogue states and could work hand in glove with CCAMLR to effectively regulate the Toothfish trade and close-out markets to illegally caught fish. Countries like South Africa (which is estimated to have lost over R3 billion in this resource to pirate fishing since 1996) should move promptly to nominate Toothfish for a CITES Appendix II listing. Notes to Editor: 1. Pirate fishing vessels include those which engage in illegal, unregulated and unreported (IUU) fishing. 2. The 'Arvisa 1' (previously renamed the 'Camouco') has a notorious history as a pirate vessel. She was caught by the French Navy fishing illegally within French waters around the sub-Antarctic Crozet Island in September 1999.

Hi everyone,

I can share some observations from the Samoa
archipelago in the south pacific:

Individual Tahiti petrels (Pterodroma rostrata) and
Christmas shearwaters (Puffinus nativitatis) are
occasionally found grounded along the runway of Pago
Pago airport. The airport is located along a
relatively large portion of the south coast of Tutuila
Island (75 sq km), on the edge of the main human
settlements on the island (pop. 60,000). During a
year and a half I was aware of two live petrel
groundings (described as Tahiti petrel) delivered to
the Department of Marine and Wildlife Resoures (DMWR)
office from along the runway.

I was curious that groundings were not reported from
the dock area in Fagotogo on Pago Pago harbour where
six tall light towers illuminate night operations. I
found these lights bright enough to write my field
notes by when making counts in Procellarid colonies on
the sheer slopes of Rainmaker Mountain ~2 km across
the harbour. Perhaps the physical locations of the
lights play a role, i.e. whether they are in the
direct path of the birds. The airport is directly
between suspected colonies on Tau mountain and nearby
offshore feeding areas, whereas birds on Rainmaker
appear to travel to and from the ocean across an
adjacent pass to the north shore in a direction
opposite from the harbour. Or perhaps folks on the
docks don't bother with grounding incidents.

In Procellarid colonies on the summit of Lata mountain
on high and remote Ta'u island (120 km east of
Tutuila), petrels and shearwaters were easily
attracted and seemingly disoriented by the light of a
single torch beam.

I hope this anecdotal information can aid your
analyses.

"Night-bird attacks" are not uncommon at the southern islands of
Gough and Marion, normally on misty, moonless nights in summer.
Burrowing petrels coming ashore to breed are dazzled by lights and
can be killed by flying into buildings or are siezed and killed by
Subantarctic Skuas.

This is why there are strict protocols in their respective management

Curtains must be drawn on our supply and research vessels when in

These procedures have greatly reduced mortality of the smaller

BASED ON EARLIER RESEARCH, THE NORTH PACIFIC FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL RECENTLY STRENGTHENED REQUIREMENTS FOR THE USE OF SUCH DEVICES, PARTICULARLY ON LARGER BOATS IN THE OUTSIDE WATERS. THIS NEW STUDY IS MEANT TO HELP ESTABLISH PRACTICAL STANDARDS FOR USING THE DEVICES ON SMALLER VESSELS.

REGISTER NOW FOR THE 2ND INTERNATIONAL FISHERS FORUM
NOVEMBER 19-22, 2002
HONOLULU, HAWAII
HOSTED BY THE
WESTERN PACIFIC REGIONAL FISHERY MANAGEMENT COUNCIL


The primary mission of the forum is to convene an international meeting of fishermen to address possible solutions to incidental bycatch of sea turtles and seabirds by longline fishing gear.

The objectives of the meeting are to:

(1) increase the awareness of fishermen that incidental longline catch of seabirds and sea turtles may pose a serious problem to these populations and to the continued operations of longline fishing;

(2) promote the development and use of practical and effective seabird and sea turtle management and mitigation measures by longline fishermen;

(3) foster an exchange and dissemination of information among fishermen, scientists,  resource managers, and other interested parties on the use of mitigation measures, and the development of coordinated approaches to testing new measures;

(4) promote the development and implementation of collaborative mitigation research studies by scientists, fishermen, resource managers, and other interested parties; and,

(5) build on first International Fishers Forum (IFF1) to encourage continued progress and new participants.

The Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council intends to host the Second International Fishers Forum (IFF2) in Honolulu, Hawaii, November 19-22, 2002.  In November 2000, New Zealand hosted the IFF1 which focused on methods to solve the incidental catch of seabirds by longline fishing gear. IFF2 will build on the efforts made by the participants at IFF1, and will also include discussions on sea turtle biology and behavior, and on reducing and minimizing the harmful effects of interactions between sea turtles and longline gear.

There are currently about 18,000 longline vessels (demersal and pelagic) operating in the Pacific Ocean, and the total fleet size is being augmented by expansion of fleets in South and East Asia, the Pacific Islands, and South and Central America.  There are about 2,800 longline vessels operating in the Atlantic Ocean, 200 in the waters surrounding the Antarctic Continent, and 300 in the Indian Ocean. The expansion of longline fishing effort will likely lead to increases in the incidental catches of seabirds and sea turtles. Consequently, there is a need to increase awareness and to seek solutions to these problems.  Fishermen need to be part of the solution.

Volcano Erupts on Japanese Island

TOKYO (AP) _ A volcano erupted on a deserted Japanese island in the
Pacific Ocean Monday, spewing smoke and ash into the air for the first
time in 63 years, officials said.

The volcano on Tori Island, part of a chain of small islands 360 miles
south of Tokyo, last erupted Aug. 18, 1939, Meteorological Agency
spokesman Yohei Hasegawa said.

An agency official confirmed the eruption during a flight over the island
in a Japan Coast Guard aircraft, after a ship reported smoke rising from
the mountain, he said.

The island, home to an endangered albatross species, has not been
inhabited since the Meteorological Agency withdrew its scientists from an
observatory there in 1965 after a major earthquake, Tokyo city official
Yuichiro Shimozawa said.

About 30 residents lived on the island until they were evacuated just
after the 1939 eruption, he said.

In 1902, the volcano erupted, killing all 125 residents on the island.

Liz Mitchell, Seabird Bycatch Project ---------- Forwarded message ---------- Date: Thu, 15 Aug 2002 15:13:48 -0800 From: Kim Rivera To: Seabird List Subject: [SEABIRD] Volcanic Eruption on Torishima....Short-tailed Albatross The following NMFS Information Bulletin is posted at http://www.fakr.noaa.gov/ INFORMATION BULLETIN (02-65) August 15, 2002 Protected Resources Division 2:10 p.m. 907-586-7235 VOLCANIC ERUPTION ON TORISHIMA ISLAND, JAPAN, SITE OF BREEDING COLONY OF THE ENDANGERED SHORT-TAILED ALBATROSS On August 11, operators of a vessel sailing near Torishima Island reported to the Japan Coast Guard that they witnessed white smoke rising from the summit of the volcanic island, according to James W. Balsiger, Administrator, Alaska Region, National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS). The Japan Coast Guard has confirmed the eruption and continues to monitor the volcanic activity. Torishima Island is approximately 600 km south of Tokyo (30=F828'48"N, 140=F818'22"E) and is the site of the main breeding colony of the endangered short-tailed albatross (Phoebastria albatrus). The current world population of this endangered species is estimated at approximately 1,680 individuals, according to Dr. Hiroshi Hasegawa, of Toho University in Chiba, Japan. Dr. Hasegawa is the world's foremost expert on this rare albatross species and recently returned from his 80th visit to Torishima in May 2002. He has estimated that about 1,415 birds are at the main breeding colony on Torishima and about 260 birds at a smaller colony on the Senkaku Islands. On learning about the Torishima eruption, Dr. Hasegawa was relieved that the albatrosses were away from the island. Their time on the island is limited to the annual breeding season which occurs from October through May. Dr. Hasegawa is confident that the Torishima population can survive by spending their life at sea until the unpredictable volcanic activities cool off and allow the birds to revisit their main breeding site. The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service (FWS) issued a Biological Opinion on the effects of the Alaska longline groundfish fishery on the short-tailed albatross in 1999. That Opinion addresses direct, indirect, human-caused, and non-human caused effects, including natural catastrophes such as volcanic eruptions. The Opinion states that "given the range of possible types and magnitudes of volcanic eruptions, and the historical pattern of eruptions on Torishima Island, a volcanic eruption of sufficient magnitude and impacts to cause the species to drop below the jeopardy threshold, is not reasonably certain to occur....However, in the event of a major population decline as a result of a natural environmental catastrophe...the effects of longline fisheries on short-tailed albatrosses could be serious. Such an event would represent new information and stimulate reinitiation of this consultation." NMFS and FWS are already undergoing a section 7 consultation, thus any new opinion would continue to reference potential impacts to the short-tailed albatross population and would be updated with information regarding this recent volcanic activity. NMFS reminds fishermen that seabird avoidance measures are required on most longline vessels fishing for groundfish or halibut off Alaska. The North Pacific Fishery Management Council has recommended changes to the existing regulations to include scientifically-proven methods that can reduce the incidental catch of seabirds by 88 to 100%. Although the new regulations are pending, NMFS encourages fishermen to begin using these new methods. FWS and NMFS will continue to closely monitor the situation on Torishima Island and comply with requirements of the Endangered Species Act to protect this endangered seabird.

The IPOA-Seabirds recommends that member States should undertake a national assessment to determine the need to develop a National Plan of Action for reducing the incidental catch of seabirds in longline fisheries (NPOA-Seabirds). Australia took an active role in developing and supporting the IPOA-Seabirds and has agreed to assist in assessments required under the IPOA and, if required, in developing and implementing a Seabirds-plan. The objective of the IPOA-Seabirds is to reduce incidental catch of seabirds in longline fisheries where this occurs. Information on the IPOA is available at: . The process for developing a national plan outlined in the IPOA-Seabirds initially involves a technical assessment of seabird interactions with longline fisheries. Following production of the Assessment Report, a Seabirds-plan can be developed which outlines actions for mitigating seabird interactions with all relevant longline fisheries. Australia is well placed to develop a Seabirds-plan with the existence of a Threat Abatement Plan for the incidental catch (or by-catch) of seabirds during oceanic longline fishing operations (TAP). The TAP is binding on the Commonwealth and encourages complementary action in State waters. In addition, the National Policy on Fisheries Bycatch was developed in 1999, where all Australian Governments agreed to develop a bycatch policy that provides options by which each jurisdiction can manage bycatch according to its situation. A Stakeholder Reference Group (SRG) comprising representatives from all key stakeholder groups will assist in developing the Seabirds-plan. The SRG will construct a practical and workable plan for seabirds that builds on the work that has already been undertaken in Australia. The task of the group will be to examine the Assessment Report to assist in the development of objectives and strategies for the Seabirds-plan. In respect of Commonwealth fisheries, it is envisaged that the Seabirds-plan will reflect, in the main, the TAP requirements. The actions included in the Seabirds-plan may relate to data collection, education, research, gear technology and fishing practices voluntary codes and regulatory measures. This draft Seabird Assessment Report is available on the web at: www.affa.gov.au/content/output.cfm?ObjectID=D2C48F86-BA1A-11A1-A2200060B0A00887 .

The project will build on the wealth of information already compiled by BirdLife and others on the status of the world's birds, including, for example, Threatened birds of the world (2000) and Threatened birds of Asia (2001). We’d like to invite you to take part in this important project. An exciting component is the launch of discussion forums on BirdLife's website, where contributors can share information on Globally Threatened Birds. Specifically you can 1) see which species are proposed for revised threat status; 2) contribute comment or new information on the proposed revisions; 3) suggest other species that may need revising. The discussions forums are organised by region and in some cases by species group (e.g. seabirds). We are now launching the Threatened Seabirds forum, and invite you to join in. For background to the project and links to the forums, click the Globally Threatened Bird Update button on the BirdLife homepage or go straight to . You can browse the discussions as a guest, but to post a comment or to contribute new information you will need to login. It’s very easy to use the forums. Click ‘How to use the forums’ in the right-hand menu of the forums homepage for details. You don’t need to keep visiting the forum through the web. You can choose to receive emails with new postings automatically, or daily or weekly digests. These can cover the whole forum or particular species only. You can also contribute your information by replying to email messages. The new system will make it much easier to credit information from particular contributors, and to acknowledge the large pool of experts whose participation is vital for ensuring that accurate and up-to-date data are used in assessing the threat status of these birds. The Threatened Seabird Forum will be moderated by Deon Nel , whilst the global initiative will be co-ordinated by Stuart Butchart . Here are a few examples of the initial list of topics for discussion in the Threatened Seabirds Forum: · Atlantic Yellow-nosed Albatross: new data from Tristan da Cunha and Gough Island suggest decline rates that imply this species should be upgraded from Near Threatened to Critical. Is this warranted? · Sooty Shearwater: although this species is extremely numerous there have been persistent signs of decline in several populations. Should it be listed as Near Threatened or even Vulnerable? · Ivory Gull: the Russian and Spitzbergen populations of this species appear to be declining. Further information is required to determine if this species should be listed as Near Threatened. · Kittlitz's Murrelet: new information suggests severe declines that may warrant upgrading this species to Critical status. Is this appropriate? Other species under discussion include: Balearic Shearwater, Flesh-footed Shearwater, Marbled Murrelet, Red-legged Kittiwake, and Bank Cormorant. Other species and issues will be added in due course, and contributors can suggest new topics for discussion. We expect the discussion forums to be an ongoing process and part of an annual cycle to review the status of threatened birds. For this round, we will aim to reach decisions on revised assessments by July 2003. This will allow them to feed into the 2004 IUCN Red List, which will comprise a major review and revision of several taxonomic groups. BirdLife is the official Listing Authority for birds for the IUCN Red List. While we provide coordination and facilitation, the quality and relevance of the information itself rely fundamentally on the participation of thousands of individual experts and key organisations, notably the bird specialist groups. We hope very much that you will want to be part of this important project, and look forward to your contributions. ************************************************ Deon Nel BirdLife International - Seabird Conservation Programme BirdLife South Africa P.O.
