ACAP priority populations. (i) Highlight the need to complete the revision and updating of the Binational Action Plan on the Waved Albatross Phoebastria irrorata, including a more concrete reference to tourism and related issues.
ACAP priority populations. (i) Advised and encouraged Peru and Ecuador to implement the Waved Albatross Phoebastria irrorata Action Plan to the extent possible.
ACAP priority populations. (i) Requested that Parties develop a list of priority research and conservation actions for each of the Priority Populations where they are currently lacking, and report to each AC meeting on progress in implementing those activities.
ACAP priority populations. 12.8.1 Following a request from the SBWG to identify an interim list of priority populations on which ACAP might focus ahead of the outcome of at-sea prioritisation assessment, the joint WG examined the available data on population size and trends in the ACAP database. This identified five populations representing sizeable proportions (>10% of the global total) that were declining rapidly (>3% per annum), for which a major underlying cause was incidental mortality in fisheries. These were the Wandering Albatross population at South Georgia (Islas Georgias del Sur)1 that had already been identified, Black-browed Albatrosses at South Georgia (Islas Georgias del Sur)1, Tristan Albatrosses at Xxxxx Island, and Sooty Albatrosses Phoebetria fusca at the Crozet and Xxxxxx Xxxxxx islands. These were all considered to be of high-priority, and the WGs agreed that addressing threats to their population required urgent and coordinated international action. Detailed assessments for each of these populations appear in ANNEX 10 and will be posted on the ACAP website.
