  • "..., of the 61 seabirds species known to be affected by the global longline fishery, 23 are considered threatened by the World Conservation Union (IUCN)... Of the 53 albatross populations for which the current conservation status is known, all are now known to be at risk. Incidental capture of seabirds by longline remains an important factor contributing to these declines."--p. 1-2, Introduction.
