The advent of satellite telemetry has improved our ability to assess the susceptibility of protected pelagic organisms to anthropogenic threats, such as fisheries bycatch. The objective of this pilot project was to determine whether threatened albatross movements overlap spatially and temporally with the Japanese Eastern Pacific Ocean fishery, and to what extent are the birds and the fishery targeting the same oceanographic habitats. Tools that can integrate many disparate point (fishing effort), track (telemetry), and raster (sea surface temperature) data are required to complete these spatial analyses (contributor: David Hyrenbach)<br>
