Aquaculture
May 23, 2023
Ali is the Industry Liaison Manager at Sanford in Bluff and is passionate about the sea and keen to take the mystery out of what happens when a vessel disappears behind the horizon line and starts catching fish. Ali says "if people know where we work and why we do things the way we do, and that our industry is science based and sophisticated, it’s not such a big jump to think we take the challenge of responsible fishing seriously." While not born into a fisher family, Ali cares deeply about the coast and the wellbeing of our communities supported by the sea. In her job as Industry Liaison Manager at Sanford, a large New Zealand seafood company, Ali is a conduit between Sanford's people, the ocean environment and other marine users – officials, seafood companies, eNGOs, dolphins. Sanford’s goal is ocean leadership; to be the world’s best seafood company which means continually striving for excellence, looking beyond the first solution to find the best. Sanford is New Zealand's oldest and largest seafood company - they farm salmon and mussels and hold 19.7% of New Zealand commercial fishing quota. Sanford has been listed on the New Zealand stock market since 1924, and is focused on sustainability and on maximising the value of the resources gathered from our oceans, enabling long term value creation from oceans teeming with life. Sanford sites can be found in 13 locations around New Zealand and they are a team of 1,400 staff and sharefishers across the country. Committed to innovation, our scientists are on a mission to find new ways to make the most of the life-enhancing properties of seafood, from anti-inflammatory supplements to skin-nurturing collagen. |

The Grace Street Project
Jun 20, 2023
Janette Malcom, Mervyn English & Terry Nicholas are trustees of the The Invercargill Community Connections Charitable Trust (IC2). The Trust was formed in December 2020 after research established a strong need, and support for, a proposed new community facility in South Invercargill – currently known as the Grace Street Project. The Grace Street Project is a community-led initiative to create a multi-purpose facility in south Invercargill with the goal of fostering a safe, welcoming, and thriving community for all. Janette Malcolm Janette has a wide variety of public and private experience including international business, law and community development, which is a particular passion of hers. Living in Southland since 2008, she established and ran South Alive and subsequently established and chaired the social enterprise business The Pantry. She has been part of the Grace Street project from the start having seen the huge local need for physical space that can provide opportunities for learning and growth in the community. Terry Nicholas Terry is the Manager of Hokonui Rūnanga, the Hokonui Representative on the Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu tribal council, and the Portfolio Director for Murihiku Regeneration. Terry has been involved with Hokonui Rūnanga and has been the Hokonui Te Rūnanga O Ngāi Tahu representative since January 1999. A champion for community development and creating opportunities for all in Murihiku, Terry sees the Grace Street Project as being pivotal to enhancing opportunities for those in South Invercargill – particularly at-risk youth. Mervyn English Mervyn grew up in Southland, and as a young man, he spent considerable time in Southland’s mountains. His career took him to other major cities, where he held senior roles in both the public and private sectors. This experience has been across multiple sectors, health, social services, energy, agriculture, and conservation. After serving on a number of boards, he also has significant experience in public policy, delivery, and governance. He has returned to Southland and is enjoying contributing to this community.
