And yet, humans are threatening the albatross family to such an extent that it is currently the most threatened bird group in the world. In this extensively researched, highly readable book, Robin W. Doughty and Virginia Carmichael tell the story of a potentially catastrophic extinction that has been interrupted by an unlikely alliance of governments, conservation groups, and fishermen. Doughty and Carmichael authoritatively establish that the albatross's fate is linked to the fate of two of the highest-value table fish, Bluefin Tuna and Patagonian Toothfish, which are threatened by unregulated commercial harvesting. The authors tell us that commercial fishing techniques are annually killing tens of thousands of albatrosses. And the authors explain how the breeding biology of albatrosses makes them unable to replenish their numbers at the rate they are being depleted. Doughty and Carmichael set the albatross's fate in the larger context of threats facing the ocean commons, ranging from industrial overfishing to our habit of dumping chemicals, solid waste, and plastic trash into the open seas. They also highlight the efforts of dedicated individuals, environmental groups, fishery management bodies, and governments who are working for seabird and fish conservation and demonstrate that these efforts can lead to sustainable solutions for the iconic seabirds and the entire ocean ecosystem. 410 0$aMildred Wyatt-Wold series in ornithology. 606 $aAlbatrosses$xConservation 606 $aAlbatrosses$xEffect of chemicals on 606 $aAlbatrosses$xEffect of pollution on 606 $aSea birds$xEcology 606 $aFishes$xConservation 615 0$aAlbatrosses$xConservation. 615 0$aAlbatrosses$xEffect of chemicals on. 615 0$aAlbatrosses$xEffect of pollution on. 615 0$aSea birds$xEcology. 615 0$aFishes$xConservation. 676 $a333.95842 700 $aDoughty$b Robin W$01694862 701 $aCarmichael$b Virginia$01694863 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910819767203321 996 $aThe albatross and the fish$94073696 997 $aUNINA
