2011-07-06 Birdlife South Africa - How to handle and dehook seabirds.
BirdLife South Africa's Albatross Task Force paid for a local artist to
produce a series of sketches that illustrate how fishermen should handle
and dehook seabirds. We've posted this on our website: http://www.birdlife.org.za/images/stories/conservation/Seabirds/for%20the%20birds.jpg.
Please go and download this, and post it to other websites, print,
laminate and stick up at the harbour, local fishing club's clubhouses,
forward to fishermen friends, etc. We'd like it used to educate people
how to handle hooked birds simply, safely, and to get the hooks out of
them so they stand a chance of surviving the ordeal. There is no
copyright on this work so please feel free to use
it. |
