among stakeholders and a collective responsibility to protect fisheries from collapse. By adopting the right policies and continuously updating them as circumstances change, we can proactively combat these challenges and ensure the sustainability of our resources. The key lies in being adaptable and committed to ongoing improvement. How do you plan to engage with local communities and stakeholders in your work to ensure that your consultancy efforts have a meaningful and lasting impact? Oceans cannot keep up with the increasing demands and fishing efforts. Recognizing this, I plan to engage with local communities and stakeholders by clearly communicating the critical need for sustainable practices and the social and economic impacts of our actions. By conveying the right message, we can inspire the younger generation to embrace sustainable practices, ensuring that our efforts lead to meaningful and lasting change. Engaging communities in this dialogue is essential for fostering a collective commitment to the future of our oceans. What does this new chapter in your career mean to you personally, and what are your long-term goals in this field? Personally, this new chapter in my career holds deep significance. After 30 years of working in the fisheries and food sector, I’ve had the privilege of witnessing the industry’s evolution, challenges, and successes. I’ve seen it all, and now it’s time to reflect on some of the fundamental issues that continue to impact the sector. This reflection drives me to focus on creating long-lasting solutions that address these challenges head-on. My long-term goals are centered around promoting sustainability, innovation, and collaboration. I want to ensure that the knowledge and experience I’ve gained are used to foster positive change in the industry. This includes not only improving current practices but also mentoring the next generation of leaders in the field. Ultimately, my aim is to contribute to a future where fisheries and environmental management are aligned with both ecological balance and the needs of communities around the world.
