  Species accounts, prepared as Information Papers for the Third Session of the ACAP Meeting of Parties (MoP3), for the three North Pacific albatrosses (Short-tailed *Phoebastria albatrus*, Black-footed *P. nigripes* and Laysan *P. immutabilis*) have now been posted to the web site at

  The three accounts have been prepared in a collaboration between the USA and the ACAP Secretariat to aid MoP3 in considering a proposal to be then made by Australia and the United Kingdom for the species to be listed within the Agreement.  For a background account of this proposal go to MoP3 Information Paper [04](https://acap.aq/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=115&Itemid=33) “Listing of New Species”.

  The Third Session of ACAP’s Meeting of Parties will be held in Bergen, Norway over the period 27 April to 1 May 2008.  [Click here](https://acap.aq/index.php?option=com_docman&task=cat_view&gid=112&Itemid=33) for more information on the meeting.
