- Description: Waved Albatross (Phoebastria irrorata) also known as Galapagos Albatross - is the only member of the Diomedeidae family located in the tropics. When they forage, the Waved Albatross follow straight paths to a single site off the coast of Peru, about 1,000 km distant to the east. During the non-breeding season, these birds reside primarily in the areas of the Ecuador and Peruvian coasts. The lifespan of this species may reach 40 to 45 years. The population of Waved Albatrosses on the Galapagos is protected by national park personnel. But limited range, bycatch by long-line fishing, disturbance via tourism, disease, and the effects of illegal fishing in the nearby waters place them in considerable jeopardy. Especially long-line fishing which seems to be making a severe impact on the species. Listed as Critically Endangered status by the IUCN in 2000 as the current situation makes the population highly vulnerable to a catastrophic collapse to extinction.
