My name is Alix Foster. I am a member of Seattle Audubon Society as well
as WOS. Currently, I am a LLM student at the UW Law School studying law
and marine affairs. The focus of my thesis is on seabird mortality
caused by fishing gear. I am in possession of just a few studies on this
issue and am looking for more. I need data, statistics, reports, names
of people in the know on this issue, etc. So far I've found reports
indicating mortality from gillnets and longlines. Does anyone know if
other gear causes mortality of seabirds? Any help that anyone can give
me would be truly appreciated.
Thanks.
