Senior Fisheries Liaison Officer [02/19/2010] |
|
JNCC's work on marine protected areas (MPAs) in UK offshore waters is rapidly expanding. JNCC recognise that the effective implementation of MPA work in line with wider sustainable development policy requires close collaboration with international fishing fleets using UK waters to gain acceptance of the aims and objectives of protected sites. Furthermore, development of an MPA network will require input of biological and socio-economic data from fishermen. We are seeking a Senior Fisheries Liaison Officer to co-ordinate our collaboration with both UK and non-UK fisheries stakeholders with an interest in UK MPAs beyond 6 nautical miles. The role will play a major role in developing to a better understanding of the needs and concerns of fisheries stakeholders in relation to MPAs, and work closely with other JNCC specialist staff to develop appropriate solutions to ensure offshore MPAs are accepted and supported by the national and international fisheries sectors. It is expected that over the longer term the post will become more involved in fisheries management issues within and outside MPAs. Job Type: Permanent Location: Scotland Aberdeen
