Albatrosses and oysters fixing the world People Fixing the World

Giant seabirds and shellfish are being used to help protect our planet.
On an tiny island in the remote Southern Ocean, a French researcher wanted to find out why so many birds were being killed by fishing boats.
By attaching radar loggers to Albatrosses, he inadvertently invented a powerful method for tracking down illegal vessels.
And in New Orleans in the US, a restaurant owner is recycling tonnes of old oyster shells.
They’re being put back in the ocean to protect the shoreline and create new reefs so more oysters can grow.
