Welcome to a new FEG member!

Professor Michel Kaiser, teacher in Marine Conservation Ecology at the School of Ocean Sciences, Bangor University has just joined the Fisheries Expert Group of the IUCN Commission on Ecosystem Management (IUCN-CEM-FEG). Professor Kaiser’s competence lies at the interface between conservation and fisheries, the effects of fishing and aquaculture on the marine environment and he is also interested in the social and economic consequences of different fishery management approaches. His current work is on techniques to minimize ecological impacts of fisheries and aquaculture and on the appropriate use of marine protected areas.

These are work areas in which FEG has been deeply involved for a few years and the experience of professor Kaiser is a most welcomed addition to our competence.
