Since 2002 the Southern Seabirds Solutions Trust has been working with fishers, the fishing industry, governments and NGOs to reduce seabird bycatch in southern hemisphere fisheries.

The Trust will hold a workshop over 10 and 11 November 2008 in Nelson, New Zealand to share thoughts on where and how the Trust can make the biggest contribution to solving seabird bycatch over the next five years both domestically and internationally. 

Guest speakers at the event will include John Croxall, Chair of BirdLife International’s Global Seabird Programme and Carlos Moreno, Universidad Austral de Chile, who is a leader in Chile’s efforts to reduce seabird bycatch.
