The BirdLife International Global Seabird Programme has published Issue 6 (August 2010) of its newsletter, Sea Change (click here).

The 12-page issue has reports on an Albatross Task Force workshop held this year in Buenos Aires, using a "surfboard" to deter seabirds from trawlers and a "hook pod" to reduce pelagic longline mortality, news of the Global Procellariiform Tracking Database and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), and more.

There is also a rather good cartoon, of what seems to be an albatross complaining it was not invited to the First World Seabird Conference, held earlier this month.
