We can't see the corridors, and we can't see what it is that brings together a tuna, a leatherback and an albatross.

Same thing with Laysan albatross who travel an entire ocean on a trip sometimes, up to the same zone the tunas use.

Reports have documented that longline fishing is one of the main threats to the survival of the highly endangered Black footed albatross in the Pacific.

And Brian Allen was able, in a miraculous flight, to get the Gossamer Albatross across the English Channel, and we won the 100,000 pound, 200,000 dollar prize for that.

And if it's tunas you don't care about, perhaps you might be interested that international long lines and pursing chase down tunas and bycatch animals such as leatherbacks, sharks, marlin, albatross.

It so happens that millions of albatross nesting on Kure and Midway atolls in the Northwest Hawaiian Islands National Monument forage here and scavenge whatever they can find for regurgitation to their chicks.

Human powered airplane Gossamer Condor sort of started me in this direction in 1976 and 77, winning the Kremer prize in aviation history, followed by the Albatross. And we began making various odd planes and creatures.

127. Greenpeace further indicated that high figures showing the death of albatross and petrels each year in southern bluefin tuna longline fishery might be underestimated and might be upwards of two to three times that figure, despite the use by vessels of mitigation devices and practices, such as the use of bird scaring lines and the practice of night setting when birds were supposed to be less abundant.
