Oliver Yates

I have been working with marine fisheries and seabirds since 2001, as an onboard observer in the South Atlantic, conducting albatross and petrel colony censuses, developing island management plans and coordinating the Albatross Task Force in South America and southern Africa.

I am passionate about improving the long-term sustainability of fisheries, particularly to reduce the impacts on non-commercial species through supporting industry to adopt measure that work for them as much as for the species we are trying to save.
