Save the Albatross Campaign
In 2008-09, the proceeds from the Official Volvo Ocean Race Game (£50,000) were donated to the campaign, which was enough money to fund two Albatross Task Force Members for a year. Each Albatross Task Force member has to be prepared to go to sea on commercial long line fishing boats in all weathers, and in some of the wildest oceans of the world.
They have to be able to use the right language and skills to build respect and credibility with fishing crews and use their knowledge to convince the fishermen on the use of practical techniques to prevent albatrosses dying horrible deaths on hooks.
