Fish Advisory Board: The advisory panel behind the campaign for fish rights
At Dyrenes Alliance, we have many dedicated and talented activists fiercely fighting for animal rights — including the fight for fish. We’re thrilled to introduce the members of the Fish Advisory Board! This team of passionate activists is devoted to making a real difference for fish and advising on our new campaign, Free Fins. Since launching last September, they’ve met regularly to provide feedback on the secretariat’s campaign work and help create vital activism for life beneath the waves. Each member brings their unique perspective and skills to the board, collaborating to generate ideas, offer feedback, and steer our campaign’s direction. In this post, meet the faces behind the Fish Advisory Board and read about their inspiring journey toward a better world for fish.

I’m part of FAB because I believe fish don’t get the attention they deserve. Fish are often overlooked, and the fact they’re measured by weight instead of as individuals in fishing is deeply disturbing. That’s why I want to help ensure fish are recognized as the beautiful, incredible beings they are.
For the past 2.5 years, I’ve been working intensively for animal rights as a coordinator and activist, and I bring that experience to FAB. I’m also trained as an educator and salesperson, which has taught me to communicate professionally and empathetically — skills that definitely benefit our work. :)
