SAVING THE ALBATROSS: FASHIONING AN ENVIRONMENTAL REGIME
ROBIN W. DOUGHTY
The Geographical Review 100(2) 216-228, April 2010

Abstract.
After enduring decades of exploitation, associated with marine-mammal  
persecution
during the nineteenth century in the Southern Hemisphere, many  
albatross populations
recovered. Albatross hunting ended by the mid 1900s as nations set  
aside breeding islands
as parks and preserves. However, researchers began to note declines in  
the 1960s and traced
them to deaths at sea due to industrial fishing. In this article I  
note the historic use of albatrosses
and tracks efforts to establish international accords among states  
that will guide efforts
to save what has become one of the most threatened bird groups in the  
world. Keywords:
albatross, bird conservation, environmental regime, seabirds.
