The albatross is one of the world’s
largest flying seabirds.
The most common North Pacific species
is the Laysan albatross. There are more than
660,000 breeding pairs just on Midway Atoll
in the northwest Hawaiian Islands.
The wandering albatross is the largest member of the albatross
family. This bird is one of the largest birds in the world. They
have the largest wingspan, ranging from 8.23 to 11.8 feet.
ACTIVITY: Stretch your arms out wide. Have a family member
measure your “wingspan” from fingertip to fingertip.

You can keep trash from traveling to the sea by
recycling, putting trash in trash cans, and choosing
reusable alternatives over single-use plastic. Less
plastic on land means less plastic in the sea!
One bird researcher on Midway saw an adult regurgitate
a toothbrush and its chick ate it. Chicks are not able to
regurgitate food or other materials out of their stomachs
and the plastic food stays there, making them sick and
sometimes killing them.
