The International Pole and Line Foundation (IPNLF) has welcomed Dr Lida Pet-Soede, of the environmental consulting firm PT Hatfield Indonesia, to its Board of Trustees.

Dr Pet-Soede is a strategic conservation and fisheries management professional and brings many qualities that will boost IPNLF's progress. Her primary role will be to support the organisation in maintaining its high level of effectiveness as it continues to mature and expand capacity with new projects and in new geographies.
In addition to supporting IPNLF’s strategic thinking, including the further development of the organisation’s financial streams and deepening the collaboration with its Members, Dr Pet-Soede is especially keen to be part of the sustainable advancement of Indonesia’s one-by-one tuna fisheries.
“The work in Indonesia has progressed well, but there are more exciting times ahead with the MSC assessments for which the fisheries are getting ready. This requires a lot of work and I look forward to assisting the team in that,” she says.
