Bill Holden also joins the ISSF Board of Directors, replacing Dr Bill Fox, formerly of WWF-US, who recently retired.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe leadership and expertise displayed by Dr. Bill Fox, both as a member of the ISSF Board and the Environmental Stakeholder Committee, as well as a partner at WWF, has been invaluable,\u201d said ISSF President Susan Jackson.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe are thankful for Bill\u2019s guidance and commitment to ISSF and our collaborative work toward sustainable tuna fisheries and ocean health. It\u2019s always a pleasure to have new experts and advocates join our committees. These additions are serious assets to our conservation initiatives.\u201d<\/p>\n
New members of the Environmental Stakeholder Committee are Sara Lewis, directs the Traceability Division at FishWise, overseeing a team implementing traceability and counter-IUU fishing projects with NGO and seafood industry collaborators from all parts of the supply chain, and Dr Tom Pickerell, executive director of the Global Tuna Alliance.<\/p>\n
\u201cSara Lewis\u2019 devotion to transparency and traceability at FishWise makes her an ideal candidate for the ESC. And we welcome Dr. Tom Pickerell\u2019s scientific guidance and collaboration once again as he returns to the ESC in his new role leading the Global Tuna Alliance,\u201d Susan Jackson commented.<\/p>\n
Dr. Bruce Collette, from the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN) and the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), retired from the ESC in January. He had been with the committee since its inception.<\/p>\n
\u201cDr. Collette worked with ISSF on the ESC since the beginning,\u201d Susan Jackson added. \u201cHis fisheries expertise made him an invaluable asset to the committee, where his passion for tuna conservation is dearly missed.\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
