# Photos from the last day of the ACAP Seabird Bycatch Working Group in New Zealand

Yesterday, ACAP's Seabird Bycatch Working Group ([SBWG](https://www.acap.aq/en/documents/working-groups/seabird-bycatch-working-group/seabird-bycatch-wg-meeting-8)) completed its three-day Eighth Meeting in Wellington, New Zealand.  Today its sister group, the Population and Conservation Status Working Group ([PaCSWG](https://www.acap.aq/en/documents/working-groups/population-and-conservation-status-working-group/population-and-conservation-status-wg-meeting-4)), has commenced a two-day meeting, its fourth.  Deliberations of both meetings will be reported to the 10th Meeting of the ACAP Advisory Committee ([AC10](https://www.acap.aq/en/documents/advisory-committee/ac10)) next week.
