Who'd have thought that in 2022, a new sustainable fishing method would be discovered entirely by chance. Science and nature = WOW. Read my exclusive here: theguardian.com/environment/…

5/2 9:40 Morning QT. A #RoyalCam close-up to help start your week. Increasing awareness of these (hopefully) long-lived birds, within a changing environment, helps them. 2022 theme for #WorldAlbatrossDay (June 19) is ‘Climate Change’. More info: acap.aq/world-albatross-day/…

Call for data! Do you have drone images of nesting albatross? WCS, Duke University and University of Tennessee – Knoxville are working together to adapt and train a CNN to detect a wide range of species in variable environments. Learn more at pacificseabirdgroup.org/news…
