Nina Rosen

As a Project Director at FishWise, Nina Rosen focuses on collaborative opportunities with seafood companies and producers to prevent illegal, unreported, or unregulated (IUU) catch from entering the market. She works at the intersections of public-private partnerships, fisheries governance, and supply chain transparency, sharing traceability guidance and facilitating multi-stakeholder dialogue.

During her tenure at FishWise, Ms. Rosen has contributed to the Seafood Alliance for Legality and Traceability (SALT) initiative, implementing Traceability Principles in seafood-producing countries. Notably, she helped develop a traceability strategy for small-scale fishers in Tanzania. Her work consistently revolves around gathering and assessing information to ensure data transparency, ultimately supporting decision-making that enhances environmental, social, and economic outcomes.

Before joining FishWise in 2020, she worked at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, collaborating with researchers in the Gulf of California Marine Program. At Scripps, she focused on monitoring vessel behavior and understanding how co-management strategies can effectively sustain marine resources and livelihoods. Additionally, while at the California Department of Fish and Wildlife, she engaged with recreational fishers and collected data to inform state management.

Ms. Rosen holds a Bachelor of Science degree in Oceanography with minors in Scientific Diving and Fisheries from Humboldt State University. She also earned a Master of Advanced Studies degree in Marine Biodiversity and Conservation from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography.
