 The Albatross and Petrel Agreement inaugurated [World Albatross Day](https://acap.aq/world-albatross-day/introduction-to-world-albatross-day) in 2020, to be celebrated annually on 19 June, this being the date the Agreement was signed in 2001.  For 2023 ACAP has chosen “[Plastic Pollution](https://acap.aq/world-albatross-day/wad2023-plastic-pollution)” as its theme to mark the day.

 Since 2020, ACAP has advertised World Albatross Day by producing logos in the three ACAP official languages of English, French and Spanish.  Additionally. a Portuguese version has also been released, given that Brazil, where that language is spoken, is a Party to the Agreement.

 Noting that many high-seas fishing vessels, including tuna longliners, that fish in southern hemisphere waters where ACAP-listed albatrosses and petrels occur, have their home ports in Asia, ACAP has now produced five new ‘WAD2023’ logos in Indonesian, Japanese, Korean and in Simplified and Traditional Chinese.

 In 2024 consideration will be given to adding more languages to the suite of nine World .Albatross Day logos in order to increase the Agreement’s outreach to high-seas fishing fleets around the world.
