Name: Joshua Fielding
Interests: I am currently working for the Australian Government in Fisheries Management, on tropical prawn fishery. This fishery occurs in the far north of Australia and uses the trawling method. Day to day tasks include creating the policy and legislation that fisheries need to abide and operate by, i.e. the rules that they need to follow while conducting their fishing operations. This can come in the form of areas they can and can’t operate and the methods and gear that they can use, or how much of a species they are allowed to catch.
Job/Location: Senior Management Officer Northern Prawn Fishery, Australian Fisheries Management Authority
