About
I am the general coordinator of Projeto Albatroz, an NGO founded 26 years ago that is dedicated to the conservation of albatrosses and petrels in Brazil, especially the reduction of seabird bycatch in longline fisheries. I am a member of the Scientific Sub-Committee for Tuna Fisheries, Coordinator of the Albatross Task Force Programme in Brazil and Vice-president of the Advisory Committee of the Agreement for Conservation of Albatrosses and Petrels (ACAP). I have dedicated my career to the study of the interaction between seabirds and fisheries and the development of new technologies to mitigate seabird bycatch. This has also included advocacy for marine conservation policies nationally and internationally, and raising awareness through campaigns and environmental education for school children, fishermen and the general public.
