The first paper* in the issue reports on an initiative of ACAP's Advisory Committee to develop critera against which to judge candidate species for listing on Annex 1 of the Agreement.  The three North Pacific albatrosses of the genus Phoebastria are identified  as the strongest candidates for inclusion.
