These buoys belong to a longliner, one of the fishing techniques mainly used in the area. Longliners cast lines which may be thousands of meters long with baited hooks and buoys with GPS, to be able to retrieve the catch after some hours.Longline fisheries have been estimated to kill 50,000–100,000 seabirds annually.
