JOB SUMMARY

Overview:

The Marine Directorate is Scotland’s leading marine management body. It was formed in April 2009 as a Scottish Government (SG) Directorate to consolidate fundamental marine operations such as scientific research, compliance monitoring, policy, and management of Scotland’s waters.

This includes upholding UK and international fishery laws and regulations. This is designed to help with fish stock protection and the creation of conditions that will allow a modern and sustainable marine fishing sector to thrive.

The marine research vessels are the MRV Alba Na Mara and the MRV Scotia, which are 27 and 69 metres long respectively.
