Seabird interactions with the hake trawl fishery in Namibia were used to calculate an annual mortality estimate for the fleet. An at-sea observation effort included 6,457 minutes during 107 trawls from ten trips. Total fleet effort data was provided by the Ministry of Fisheries and Marine Resources. The estimate indicates that 8,088 (0 – 27,487) birds are killed each year in the Namibian demersal trawl fishery. Of those birds 5,010 (62%) albatrosses are estimated to be killed and 3,078 (38%) non-albatross species.
