 *[Infographic](https://www.prodelphinusperu.org/copia-de-learning-resources) in Spanish by ProDelphinus Peru describes the safe handling and release of bycaught seabirds*

 The environmental NGO [ProDelphinus Peru](https://www.prodelphinusperu.org/) has produced six videos for Spanish speakers that describe procedures for the safe handling and releasing of marine megafauna that get incidentally caught by fisheries in the south-east Pacific Ocean.  The animal groups covered in [six separate videos](https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PLzyoNdm3sOm6BA-D6Zp96-Ax9-aBYNozn) are marine mammals, fish (sharks and rays), turtles and seabirds.  The video for seabirds is intended to decrease the post-release mortality after a bycatch event.

  Este video fue preparado como una guia de buenas practicas para la manipulacion y liberacion de fauna marina de pesqueria incidental. El video sobre aves marinas busca aumentar la sobrevivencia de las aves luego de la captura y posterior liberacion. Este y otros materiales similares fueron preparados por [ProDelphinus Peru](https://www.prodelphinusperu.org/), con el apoyo de [National Fish and Wildlife Foundation](https://www.nfwf.org/), para promover pesquerias sostenibles en el Pacifico Oriental.

 “I am also attaching the link to a *Guide for Assessing Small-scale Fisheries.* This guide compiles information from our own experience in Peru, from assessing these fisheries, to identifying potential solutions.  We hope it may be useful for Spanish-speaking countries.  I am also sharing a *Guide for Best Practices in Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries* that includes information about improving commercialization of fish, reducing pollution, reporting bycatch, technologies to improve fisheries, and COVID health measures for safe fishing.”
