Abstract

This paper reports on a 4 day forum for fishers held in New Zealand in 2000, to exchange information and develop practical measures to minimise incidental capture of seabirds in longline fisheries. Participants committed to undertake a number of activities and report back at a second forum that will be held in Hawaii in late 2002.
