# BirdLife’s Albatross Task Force produces a seabird mitigation leaflet in Spanish

BirdLife International’s Albatross Task Force ([ATF](http://www.savethealbatross.net/)) currently works in five South American countries that experience seabird bycatch in their longline fisheries: Argentina, Brazil, Chile, Ecuador and Uruguay, all of which are Parties to ACAP.

    To improve communication with South American fishers, the ATF has produced an illustrated leaflet in Spanish ([click here](http://www.birdlife.org/seabirds/folleto_ATF.pdf)).  The eight-page leaflet identifies the problem of seabird mortality on longlines and introduces the ATF’s South American instructors.

   For more news from the South American section of the ATF [click here](http://www.birdlife.org/news/news/2009/07/atf_callingcard.html).  Also search on “Albatross Task Force” for earlier ACAP news items on the ATF.
