Fisheries work

Our take

Hello everyone! I am an undergraduate studying marine science with valuable experience from research cruises, which I've thoroughly enjoyed. I'm considering a career as a fisheries observer after graduation, drawn by the opportunity to explore diverse fish species and connect with NOAA professionals. However, I have some reservations, particularly about working at sea as a female observer, where conditions can be unpredictable. I would love to hear from anyone, especially women, who have worked as fisheries observers. Your insights would be greatly appreciated!

hi everyone, i am an undergraduate studying marine science. i have work experience working in research cruises which i have really enjoyed. i am thinking about working as a fisheries observer after i graduate. I am hesitant because all though some of it sounds amazing like getting to see so many different fish species and NOAA networking, being a female and being an observer where no one truly knows what’s happening at sea does concern me. has anyone here worked as an observer, especially women?
