Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and PetrelsAgreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels • July 1st, 2008
Contract Type FiledJuly 1st, 2008In connection with the development of the Waved Albatross Plan of Action, the Agreement on the Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels (ACAP) has recently identified a problem associated with information gaps in the levels of incidental mortality of seabirds in Ecuadorean fisheries. This is strictly linked to the fact that the National Observer Program of Ecuador is currently not gathering information (or is doing so at very basic levels) in relation to the interaction between seabirds and fishing vessels.
