Seaweek - Karen Baird: Forest & Bird Seabird Advocate

Before Karen started her role with Forest & Bird, she worked at, among other places, the Ministry of Fisheries. She will share her knowledge of (the absence of) fish management practices influence our seabirds: from albatrosses to penguins.

At a recent North Island gathering, Karen showed the audience what fish quota are based on and why they mostly don’t work. Karen’s talk will not only be engaging, it will definitely open your eyes about our current practices and what needs to change to keep our seas in shape.
