Janice Molloy

Janice Molloy has been supporting fishers and the wider seafood industry in their journey towards seabird-safe fishing for over twenty years. In 2006, Janice established the Southern Seabirds Trust, a collaboration between the New Zealand fishing industry, environmental organisations, government agencies, and academics.

The Trust provides fishers and others in the industry with the knowledge and support they need to reduce their seabird captures. Because New Zealand breeding seabirds spend a large part of their lives on the high seas, where they are at risk from tuna longline fleets, the Trust is increasing its international engagement efforts.
