Today #AdriftLab found a #shearwater entangled in recreational fishing gear (line & hook visible in the top left corner). The line caused serious injury to the wing, leg and foot. We’re sad to say, the bird is no longer alive. Please fish much more carefully and responsibly, what you leave behind causes great suffering and ends the lives of others who are innocent and don’t have a voice

At #AdriftLab, we’ve been fortunate to work alongside INCREDIBLE folks who help us tell the #shearwater’s story on #LordHoweIsland. From jewellery makers to poets to champion swimmers, we are in awe of the kindness of others, and their dedication to #OceanConservation.
In 2022, we were blessed to work with internationally renowned #photojournalist Justin Gilligan who took these ⬇️ stunning photos of our team, the birds, and the impact of #PlasticIngestion (📸 credit: Justin).
Justin’s photos, and words written by Karen McGee, have been featured in #AustralianGeographic “A year in the field: AG photographers on assignment in 2022”. Check out our brilliant story (and others too!!) 🤩 https://www.australiangeographic.com.au/news/2022/12/a-year-in-the-field-ag-photographers-on-assignment-in-2022/?fbclid=PAAaYL9fTOMl4ZgI9QgNHP_7CDMlghj-f4EWli1UsfdlLn2-hyq8K3AdbYijM
