(From sabcnews.com)- Marine scientists from across the globe are gathering in Somerset West outside Cape Town to develop a plan to protect albatrosses and petrels. Senior Researcher at MCM, Johann Augustyn, says they hope to come up with strong resolutions because seabird numbers are rapidly declining.
“We intend placing observers on vessels to ensure that we keep the mortality of seabirds at the lowest possible level. We”ve also put out a Seabirds and Seals Protection Policy.”
