Eric Mullen has a passion for the sustainable management of fish and wildlife. Growing up in Essex County, Southwestern Ontario, Eric spent much of his youth catching reptiles, fishing, and hunting in the natural spaces where he grew up. This upbringing inspired him to pursue a career in natural resource management, to work towards the advancement and promotion of conservation and sustainable resource use.
As an avid hunter, angler, and canoe tripper, Eric loves Manitoba and exploring its wilderness areas. During his studies, he spent countless hours exploring incredible fisheries across the province, his favorite target species are Musky, Northern Pike, and Burbot.
Recently, Eric moved into the regional fisheries manager position, where he leads the management and fisheries-related programming of the Eastern Region. Here, he takes his responsibility to help protect and enhance fish stocks and fishing opportunities very seriously.
To that end, Eric also believes in furthering the conservation message and has shared fisheries science and management information to the public through Hooked Magazine articles, presentations, podcasts, radio shows, and video.”
