Mr. Paul Dalzell
Western Pacific Fishery Management Council
Honolulu, Hawaii
Paul Dalzell joined the Western Pacific Regional Fishery Management Council in 1996 as the Pelagic Fisheries Coordinator. Subsequently, in 2000, he was also appointed as the Council's Senior Scientist. Dalzell has been active in the field of fishery research and management in the Asia-Pacific region for the past 27 years. He has lived and worked in a variety of countries, including Papua New Guinea, the Philippines and New Caledonia. In the mid-1980s he led a World-Bank funded project in the Philippines on small pelagic fisheries assessment and management. During the 1990s, prior to working for the Western Pacific Council, Dalzell worked for the Secretariat of the Pacific Community, advising the fisheries administrations of the Pacific Islands on coastal fishery research and management. During this period he completed and published a definitive review of coastal fisheries of the insular tropical Pacific. His main areas of expertise include stock assessment and management of small pelagic fishes, and the dynamics of coral reef fisheries. Although currently responsible for management policy for tuna fisheries within the U.S. EEZ and on the high seas in the Pacific, Dalzell continues to maintain an interest in the regions small scale coastal fisheries.
