Diego Undurraga

Diego Undurraga is an Industrial and Systems Engineer, and has a Master’s degree in Environmental Science and Management from the Bren School at the University of California in Santa Barbara, with a specialization in Coastal Marine Resources. As a Latin American Fisheries Fellow at the Bren School, Diego focused on the development of market-driven solutions for fisheries’ sustainability. With a focus in natural resources management, in Chile Diego has worked in both the public and private sectors. During his time in California, he also collaborated with the Sustainable Fisheries Group at UCSB (today Environmental Markets Lab) and other research labs, on projects ranging from human rights abuses on fisheries on a global scale, to the social-ecological adaptive capacity to climate change for small scale fishing communities in Chile and Mexico. As the director of Future of Fish’s Chilean operations, Diego works with local fishers and mid-level supply chain players to implement technology and practice changes that are part of a global, systemic initiative to drive down global overfishing.
