Marcus Stone

Hello, my name is Marcus Stone. I am a South African fisheries technician currently working in the United States.

I have three years of hands‑on experience in pond and lake management, water‑quality correction, aquatic vegetation control, electrofishing operations, fish‑habitat construction, and hatchery support. I also have customer‑service experience and speak English and Afrikaans fluently.

I am looking for an opportunity to work abroad so I can continue growing my skills in fisheries and gain international experience. My current work contract ends in January next year, and I will be available to relocate immediately after that. I am ready to begin the application process now.
