 The ACAP Secretariat extends season’s greetings and its best wishes for 2023 to all. 

In 2023 ACAP will continue to engage in efforts for the the conservation of the magnificent albatrosses, petrels and shearwaters listed under the Agreement.

Preparations are already well underway to mark World Albatross Day on 19 June and we look forward to celebrating once again with the wonderful and dedicated albatross-admiring community across the globe. ACAP has chosen the theme "Plastic Pollution" for next year’s celebrations, highlighting this urgent and growing global problem. A range of posters and infographics will be available to download from the website in time for the event.

The United Kingdom is set to host the thirteenth Meeting of ACAP’s Advisory Committee (AC13) in the Scottish capital of Edinburgh in May. Meetings of the Seabird Bycatch Working Group (SBWG) and the Population and Conservation Status Working Group (PaCSWG) will precede AC13.
