Paco Sardina
Fieldassistent
My name is Paco Manuel Jozef Sardina, and I am currently studying Animal Management at Van Hall Larenstein University of Applied Sciences in Leeuwarden. I am in my fourth and final year, working towards completing my degree. Throughout my studies, I have mainly focused on ecology and research, with a particular interest in working with animals and nature in the field. Last year, I completed the minor Responsible Animal Use in Fieldwork, through which I am working towards obtaining my Article 13f2 qualification. This allows me to further develop my knowledge and skills in conducting responsible and careful field research.

OUR
History

The OVB, along with its merger partner NVVS, became the new organization 'Sportvisserij Nederland' on January1, 2006. This new organization is particularly dedicated to representing the interests of sport fishing in the Netherlands. Since 2005, VisAdvies has continued the OVB's independent research activities within a private context.
