"My name is Koyel Mandal, I'm a fisheries economist with a non-profit group called Ocean Conservancy. We are a nationally known non-profit organization. If you want to be a fisheries economist, the first thing I would recommend is having a background in economics and, depending on what you want to do you can either go into research and a lot of federal agencies they would hire fisheries economists as a researcher. That's when I would suggest that you have a Phd in economics but if you want to do more of a policy work, more in the managerial aspects of fisheries and sustainable management, that's when you do not need an advanced degree in economics. You can go with a masters and with that I would suggest having some kind of a background in environmental policy or just general public policy. You do not need to have something specific to fisheries but as long as you have an understand of how fisheries management is done in the country and nationally. And, as long as you know the rules in different management agencies, I think you're in good shape work in the managerial positions and being in advocacy. And, of course, having a passion for the environment, having a passion for the oceans, that helps. A lot of people come into this sector because they grew up with oceans, they grew up with the environment and they like what they do and they want to make a change in the environment. So, having a passion of course helps and adds a lot of value to your jobs."
