In this week’s podcast we’re with Fisheries Observer Nigel Hollands. He heads out on commercial fishing vessels to collect data that helps with fisheries management and protects stocks for future generations. Sometimes Nigel shares a bunkhouse with the crew, other times he's allocated his own cabin. If there's no cook on board, you can find Nigel mucking in to help with the meals. The longest Nigel's spent working at sea, without setting foot on land, is three months.   

In this series, Hook Line and Sinker, were taking a dive into Aotearoa New Zealand’s seafood sector. We’ll meet some of the people working in it and learn about innovations designed to help the industry grow and thrive.
