# Helping save seabirds: news from the Southern Seabird Solutions Trust

The Southern Seabird Solutions Trust ([SSST](http://www.southernseabirds.org)) has this month published its 13th Newsletter on line ([click here](http://www.southernseabirds.org/ss-news_and_events) to access the earlier newsletters).

 The newsletter reports of a competition for New Zealand fishers (the Seabird Safe Award), news of a liaison trip to South Africa, the possibility of Argentina establishing a similar organization to the SSST to facilitate government, academia, environmental groups and industry working more closely on seabird bycatch issues, and the appointment of a new manager for the trust.

 In addition, the ‘Mitigation Development Pathway' resource has been created as a step-by-step process to assist in the development of mitigation devices and methods.
