Hi Lorne,
Check out
http://www.savethealbatross.net/
it has good info on the long-line fishing problem, and links to the
Volvo Ocean Race, which might grab the attention of young blokes.
cheers,
James

Hello bird lovers... Lorne here...
On Wednesday afternoon, at the school where I teach, St. Aloysius
College, Sydney, I'm presenting a forty minute lecture on albatross
to 140 14 yr old boys as an intro to our topic of The Sea and The
Rhyme of the Ancient Mariner.
I've pretty much got all I want to say in my head, but would love
some suggestions re. info that the boys should know or stuff that
would keep them enthralled during my chat as most would be prefering
to play their X Box or looking at Zoo magazine or shooting sparrows
with air rifles methinks!!!
Can anyone give me up to date stats on numbers of albatross in the
world... general conservation info...any websites I can suggest the
boys look at etc.????
This is an important opportunity to spread info on these majestic
species so the boys can think about conservation in the future, so
any help would be deeply appreciated.
Ta,
Lorne Johnson
