Floating WALL-E Scarecrow Stops Seabirds from Diving into Fishing Nets

May 17, 2021 To prevent seabirds from being caught in fishing nets, conservationists have developed an unusual aquatic scarecrow which the GNN staff summarily agreed looked just like Pixar’s WALL-E. Copyright Andres Kalamees, Estonian Ornithological Society Invented as part of a multinational effort to create innovative solutions to prevent seabird bycatch, a pair of googly-eyes mounted on a floating buoy was found to decrease the numbers of long-tailed ducks loitering around gillnets in Estonian waters by 25%. Fishing bycatch, defined as the capture of non-intended animals in fishing nets and lines, accounts for the deaths of 400,000 birds worldwide every year, something which conservationists are targeting as a preventable tragedy with different kinds of deterrents.

One Simple Change in Namibia Cut Accidental Albatross Deaths and Seabirds Entanglements by 98%: Absolutely amazing

One Simple Change Cut Accidental Albatross and Seabird Deaths by 98%: âAbsolutely amazingâ Feb 8, 2021 An international task force of conservationists have proved that a remarkably simple method of deterring seabirds can save tens of thousands from accidental death. A recent study published about the Namibian fishery industry determined there was a 98% reduction in albatross and other seabird deaths after laws were passed requiring that fishermen attach colored streamers to the back of their boats, which deterred the birds from pilfering longline fishing nets. Emily Eng illustration showing how rainbow streamers work for BirdLife International The Royal Society for the Protection of Birds (RSPB) and BirdLife International’s Albatross Task Force (ATF) came together to help prevent endangered species like albatross from going extinct due to bycatch, a fishing term that describes animals caught but not targeted.

Some industrial fleets often use long lines fitted with thousands of baited hooks, which attract seabirds. In attempting to snatch away the bait, the birds can become tangled in the lines and die.
