for this position will most certainly need to have a "passion for marine

REEF's volunteer programs rely heavily on this activity. A candidate's
connections with the dive community and history in non-profit marine

robustness of our policy approaches to ensure ecosystem health in the face of
existing and emerging problems in the ocean including marine debris, climate
change, and ensuring restoration of ocean ecosystems from devastating
environmental tragedies. The Senior Wildlife Biologist will serve as a part of

Conservancy's Fish Conservation Program is a dynamic, multi-faceted initiative
focused on achieving sustainable fisheries in our nation's waters with an
emphasis on the Gulf of Mexico. Ocean Conservancy has played a key leadership
role in transitioning our nation's fisheries towards a sustainable future. Past
accomplishments include securing significant improvements to our nation's
fisheries management laws in 1996 and 2007, transitioning regional fisheries to
long term sustainability through the adoption of science based management plans,
bycatch reduction measures and protection of essential fish habitat, and the
establishment of the first science based rebuilding plan for red snapper in the
Gulf of Mexico. We will continue this leadership role by working both at the
national and regional level ensuring the development and implementation of laws
and policies consistent with sustainable fisheries through the development of
science based conservation policies and practices, implementation of incentive
based measures, ensuring accountability within the fishery management system and
building support among fishery stakeholders and decision-makers. The Monitoring
Specialist will work with a team of professionals to ensure that management
policies and decisions continue to transition fisheries to long term
sustainability, and coordinate with other teams to ensure full restoration of
the Gulf of Mexico including from the impacts of the BP Deepwater Horizon
disaster. We envision healthy and productive oceans that support resilient
ecosystems and coastal communities.</SPAN></P>

Conservancy's Fish Conservation Program is a dynamic, multi-faceted initiative
focused on achieving sustainable fisheries in our nation's waters with an
emphasis on the Gulf of Mexico. Ocean Conservancy has played a key leadership
role in transitioning our nation's fisheries towards a sustainable future. Past
accomplishments include securing significant improvements to our nation's
fisheries management laws in 1996 and 2007 as well as the establishment of the
first science based rebuilding plan for red snapper in the Gulf of Mexico. We
will continue this leadership role by ensuring the development and
implementation of laws and policies consistent with sustainable fisheries in
partnership with fishery stakeholders in the Gulf of Mexico region. The British
Petroleum (BP) Deepwater Horizon oil disaster threatens the Gulf of Mexico
ecosystem, its fisheries and a way of life for fishing communities. In addition
to the longstanding threats facing regional fisheries, the Fish Conservation
Program works with Ocean Conservancy's Gulf Restoration Program team to ensure
that regional management policies address new threats posed by this disaster and
support the full restoration of the Gulf of Mexico ecosystem. The Policy Manager
will work in concert with our team of professionals to ensure that national laws
and policies are consistent with sustainable fisheries, that regional management
policies and decisions continue to transition fisheries to long term
sustainability, and that a full restoration of the Gulf of Mexico is achieved.
OC envisions a healthy and productive Gulf of Mexico that supports resilient
ocean ecosystems and coastal communities.</SPAN></P>
