 Marc Parchow Figueiredo is a cartoonist residing in Portugal who in the 2010s produced a series of comic strips under the name of [Qual Albatroz](https://whatalbatross.blogspot.com/search/label/Plastic%20Pollution). Marc informs *ACAP Latest News* that he has moved on from his albatross cartoons. However, it is pleasing that that from his large portfolio he has made these eight cartoon strips that deal with aspects of pollution affecting albatrosses available to ACAP to support this year’s World Albatross Day on 19 June and its theme of “[Plastic Pollution](https://acap.aq/world-albatross-day/wad2023-plastic-pollution)".
