Albatross Ecology

Albatrosses are large seabirds that spend most of their lives flying over oceans, using wind currents to travel great distances with minimal energy. They feed mainly on fish and squid, often scavenging leftovers from fishing boats. They are highly adapted to their marine environment, with long wings for soaring and efficient flight. Albatross populations face threats from overfishing, pollution, and habitat disturbance, which impact their breeding and survival. Protecting albatross ecology involves sustainable fishing practices and habitat conservation, crucial for maintaining their role as integral parts of marine ecosystems and ensuring their future amidst changing ocean conditions.
