One of the videos is entitled "Albatros Gigantes del aire y del mar en peligro" (Albatross: giants of air and sea in danger).

The multimedia material has been produced in Spanish and contains valuable information on the diversity of seabirds attending the waters off Peru, as well as the threats this group of birds suffers as result of interactions with longline fisheries.

The video demonstrates the efforts of the Project "Incidental Capture of Albatross and Petrels" by APECO to reduce the mortality of "pajarotes", especially the Waved Albatross Phoebastria irrorata, the most abundant albatross species occurring in the waters off Peru and Ecuador, and considered to be Critically Endangered.
