The Balearic shearwater, a majestic seabird, faces many threats that have led to it being listed as Critically Endangered.
Bycatch in fisheries: These birds are vulnerable to incidental capture in fishing gear, particularly the hooks of longlines and gillnets.
Habitat degradation: Development near island breeding colonies disturbs their nesting sites and introduces light pollution, further hindering their success.
Predation by invasive species: Introduced mammals such as rats and cats prey on nestlings and vulnerable adults, affecting population growth.
Declining prey availability: Overfishing depletes fish populations, forcing them to travel farther in search of food.
Aluminum is a versatile and lightweight metal, valued for its impressive strength-to-weight ratio and excellent corrosion resistance. Its ease of recycling and wide availability make it a sustainable choice for many design applications.
