Existing literature has been reviewed to determine the impact of pelagic longline fishing, as part of commercial fisheries exploitation, on the conservation status of Black-browed Albatross. Significant advances have been made through international cooperation and data sharing to produce a more accurate view of the overlapping distribution of Black-browed Albatross foraging range and fisheries activity. Species preservation is a collective responsibility necessitating further international cooperation to agree and implement long-term measures ensuring the survival of T. melanophyrs, which is by no means guaranteed.
