The International Seafood Sustainability Foundation has made a number of appointments to its Scientific Advisory Committee (SAC) and Environmental Stakeholder Committee (ESC).
New joiners Dr Ana Parma and Daniel Suddaby join the SAC and ESC respectively whilst Dr Keith Sainsbury takes up the role of vice chair of the SAC.
Dr Parma is a research scientist with the Argentine Council for Science and Technology, based at a coastal research centre in Patagonia, where she focuses on fisheries modelling and management.
“We are thrilled to welcome Dr Ana Parma to the SAC and are confident that her broad experience in fisheries, including tuna, will be vitally important in continuing our efforts to identify and advocate for sustainable fishing practices,” said Susan Jackson, ISSF president.
ISSF also welcomes Daniel Suddaby, executive director for the Global Tuna Alliance, as a new member to the ESC.
“Mr Suddaby has two decades of experience that will prove greatly important to our collaborative work,” said Jackson. “We are thankful to have him be a part of our committee and look forward to benefitting from his expertise in fisheries and marine conservation.”
Dr Keith Sainsbury has been a member of ISSF’s SAC since 2015. He also serves as a member of the Marine Stewardship Council’s technical advisory board.
“Dr Sainsbury has extensive knowledge and experience in fisheries research and management as well as the Marine Stewardship Council and that lends itself well to our efforts,” said Jackson.
