Hi all

I know a few of us enjoy pelagics and seeing albatrosses is always a highlight.

Some ex-RSPB / Birdlife folks have a project seeking donations on kick starter, 
to get a device called the Hookpod distributed into fishing fleets. The Hookpod 
has been proven to reduce the risk of albatrosses & diving seabirds being 
caught on fishing hooks by encapsulating the hook until it gets well below 
water.

I've no involvement other than I have pledged some money through kickstarter 
myself. If anyone else is inclined to help that would be great.

Thanks Russell for permission to post :)

Cheers
