# BirdLife's Global Seabird Programme publishes No. 6 of its newsletter, Sea Change

The BirdLife International Global Seabird Programme has published Issue 6 (August 2010) of its newsletter, *Sea Change* ([click here](http://www.rspb.org.uk/Images/Sea_change_tcm9-258696.pdf)).

 The 12-page issue has reports on an Albatross Task Force workshop held this year in Buenos Aires, using a "surfboard" to deter seabirds from trawlers and a "hook pod" to reduce pelagic longline mortality, news of the Global Procellariiform Tracking Database and Marine Protected Areas (MPAs), and more.

 There is also a rather good cartoon, of what seems to be an albatross complaining it was not invited to the [First World Seabird Conference](http://www.worldseabirdconference.com/main.cfm?cid=1813), held earlier this month.
