All our arrangements were co-ordinated in an efficient and animated way. The initial discussions with the vessel 'Akira', a longline fishing vessel, under the command of skipper Rogerio and your crew, indicated that everything about our high sea trip would be fine.
Everyone actively participated in choosing the best place for the installation of the tori lines. They had shown curiosity on the works to be developed on board.
The work developed for this particular fishing fleet, that acts from the port of Itajaí, is proving to be of extreme relevance to the wider picture of activity. Seabird interactions are damaging to fishing owners and the alarming declines in seabirds in the last decades.
Simple initiatives such as the installation of tori lines and the spreading of the results obtained with this mitigation measure mean that even more fishermen seek to support the cause - preserving the species threatened and promoting sustainable fisheries.
