Amanda Dahl works as a county fishing consultant
Through her internship, she was introduced to the efforts to make a common strategy for fishing. When a job as a county fishing consultant appeared she applied, and she thinks she got the position thanks to her degree project.
Right now, she’s very focused on aquaculture – an exciting area that’s continuously developing.
Sebastian Packalén is a product specialist
