We are seeking a Senior Fisheries Advisor to work closely with colleagues, across JNCC and partner agencies, responsible for advice on conservation of marine ecosystems and mobile species. The post holder will provide advice on the implementation of fisheries measures in UK offshore MPAs, assessing the effectiveness of those measures and to assist in the implementation of wider policy ambition to deliver a more ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management. The post-holder will be expected to work very closely with partners in its sister statutory nature conservation bodies, with other scientists, with regulators and with UK and Devolved Governments. It is also expected that they will routinely engage with industry representatives.
