Recruiter details: Cefas

Our work takes us from freshwater to the open ocean, and includes both wild and farmed fish. Our influence and leadership spans a wide spectrum of issues, including:

• climate change impacts and adaptation
• marine spatial planning and environmental licensing
• sustainable fisheries management
• marine biodiversity and habitats
• fish and shellfish health and hygiene
• emergency response.

We support this by collecting, managing and interpreting environmental, biodiversity and fisheries data.
