Bullers albatross by Oliver Prince & Steph Winnard
 Our crowdfunding appeal only has two days to go. We smashed our original target and have just gone over the $9000 mark! Every extra $ will go towards more Hookpods and reusable lights to protect albatross and the environment. 

Thank you so much to everyone who has backed us. The response has been amazing. For anyone who hasn't yet backed us, if you would like to be in with a chance to win the stunning wandering albatross print kindly donated by renowned photographer, David Tipling, you need to donate as least $25 by the 19 August. Donate here.

About This Project

Can Hookpods and reusable LED lights reduce albatross deaths and marine pollution?

The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds

Endangered albatrosses and other seabirds are accidentally killed in longline fisheries around the world. In the Brazilian fleet we want to test Hookpods, a new technology, designed to safely deploy hooks, so they cannot be ingested by birds. We also want to test new reusable LED lights, to replace single use light sticks that are currently disposed of in the oceans in vast numbers every day contributing to marine pollution.
