Until A903917 Is Live

100,000 albatrosses a year are dying in the Southern Ocean due to illegal long line fishing.

To raise public conciousness of this pending disaster the adventurer John Ridgway, his wife Marie Christine, together with a small crew will follow the course of the albatross around the world, from Cape Town to Cape Town from mid 2003 to mid 2004.

This expedition is being planned and will be reported on within the pages of H2G2.

This page contains an index of all H2G2 pages associated with this project. It is constantly updated and shows both existing and planned pages. If you would like to see more information or have any questions, please just ask via the Discussion area at the foot of this page.
