This RFP relates to the opportunity to provide research to contextualise all quantifiable risk to Southern Buller’s albatross and allow for Fisheries New Zealand to provide management advice that is proportional to that risk which results from fishing within in the New Zealand EEZ. Outputs from this project will include spatial and temporal elements that will allow for the targeting of potential management measures as a way to reduce the impact on overlapping fisheries while also maximising the conservation interventions for Southern Buller’s albatross. The need for any potential management measures can be balanced against the nature and level of any non-fisheries threats and threats from fisheries outside the New Zealand EEZ. This research will also be useful when engaging with fisheries management organisations with members from other nations to advocate for the development, adoption, improvement, and uptake of seabird conservation measures.
