The Black-faced Spoonbill, Platalea minor, is an internationally endangered species, with its population less than 3,000 as of 2014. It is astonishing that this vulnerable bird is damaged not only from coastal development and pollution, but also from leisure fishing debris such as fishing lines and hooks. We suggested changes of human actions needed to protect this beautiful bird from marine debris at the end of this video.
