The Southern Seabird Solutions Trust (SSST) has this month published its 13th Newsletter on line (click here to access the earlier newsletters).
The newsletter reports of a competition for New Zealand fishers (the Seabird Safe Award), news of a liaison trip to South Africa, the possibility of Argentina establishing a similar organization to the SSST to facilitate government, academia, environmental groups and industry working more closely on seabird bycatch issues, and the appointment of a new manager for the trust.
In addition, the ‘Mitigation Development Pathway' resource has been created as a step-by-step process to assist in the development of mitigation devices and methods.
The SSST's on-line newsletter can be received by e-mail on request to the Trust Manager, Amie Sinden at
