This a request for a hard copy of the Sydney Morning Herald 
(SMH) article referred to by Eric Woehler.
I have searched the web and the SMH site does not appear to 
have an archives section one can browse for previous 
issues. 
Would any Sydneysiders who still have the SMH of wednesday 
17/9/97 please contact me to arrange for a hard copy of the 
article to be fwd.  The Scientific Advisory Committee, of 
which I am the the Scientific Officer, is currently 
examining the conservation status of several Albatross 
species in Victorian waters.  Long-line fishing activities 
is an issue the Committee is considering but the shooting 
of Albatross is news to me.
I can be contacted at the address and e-mail below.
Thnaks in anticipation.         Martin
