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.

But no fishing gear may do more damage than the gillnet, which entangles and kills at least 400,000 seabirds each year. What if all it took to save them was a pair of googly eyes?

Googly-eyed scarecrow could prevent seabirds drowning

Updated / Wednesday, 5 May 2021 15:57 The trial found the number of birds were reduced by up to 30% within 50 metres of the scarecrow, compared to traditional fishing buoys A floating scarecrow with googly eyes could help reduce the number of seabirds caught in fishing nets, researchers have said. The looming-eyes buoy with big eye spots and a looming movement can create a visual deterrent close to gillnets, a curtain of netting that hangs in the water, to prevent birds diving into them, getting entangled and drowning. A group of scientists, including from Birdlife International and the RSPB s Centre for Conservation Science in the UK, worked with marine engineers to develop the device, which was then tested on long-tailed ducks in Estonian waters.
