MSC’s Fishery Assessment Managers play essential roles in achieving the MSC mission by carefully reviewing fishery assessments conducted around the world by independent, third party evaluation teams.  By this review process, the fisheries team contributes to the quality, consistency and credibility of fishery certification decisions.  Team members are also involved in managing special projects to help evaluate and improve the performance and rigour of MSC fishery certification.   The position has significant opportunities for independence and teamwork plus collaboration with leading fishery scientists around the globe as part of special project involvement.
