Laysan Albatross : Style & Story

The North Shore of Kaua'i is the only place in the world where albatross have chosen to nest among humans. Although their number represents a miniscule percentage of the entire population, every chick matters. As the Midway Atoll gradually submerges, Kaua'i is their Noah’s Ark.

Hob Osterlund, founder of the Kaua'i Albatross Network and author of Holi Moli: Albatross and Other Ancestors, will share videos and slides of Kaua'i’s albatross and speak about the future of albatross on the Garden Isle.
