5 species
Species principle: Ocean Handling
Turn over waves.
Far travel belongs to the one that can turn lightly over rough water.
Black-browed Albatrosses use long narrow wings and dynamic soaring to travel over Southern Ocean winds and waves while foraging across large distances.
Species principle: Ocean Continuance
Stroke by stroke.
A long life is crossed one stroke at a time.
Loggerhead Sea Turtles migrate across large ocean distances using powerful front flippers, strong shells, and navigational ability between feeding and nesting areas.
Species principle: Air Mastery
Ride the sea air.
Movement becomes easy when the body is made for the air it rides.
Magnificent Frigatebirds have extremely long wings, forked tails, and low wing loading, allowing efficient soaring over oceans for long periods.
Species principle: Global Endurance
Shear the globe.
Resilience is built by trusting the wing through enormous distance.
Sooty Shearwaters make some of the longest migrations of any bird, using efficient long-winged flight over vast ocean routes.
Species principle: Drift
Ride the sea wind.
Long journeys become lighter when you read the wind instead of fighting it.
Wandering Albatrosses have enormous wingspans and use dynamic soaring over ocean winds to travel vast distances with little flapping.
