Francisco</FONT><BR></STRONG> <BR>The Coral Reef Alliance (CORAL) is an
international nonprofit based in San Francisco with programs in Mexico, Belize,
Honduras, Hawaii, Fiji, and Indonesia. CORAL's unifying strategy is based on the
premise that reef conservation should start with the communities whose health
and welfare depend directly on the reefs. With a budget of approximately $1.3
million and a staff of 20 in San Francisco and in the field, largely supported
by foundations and individual donors, and partnering with many of the world's
largest environmental organizations, CORAL has established a reputation for
effective international leadership in its field, and is positioned well for the
<BR>future. CORAL seeks in its next executive director the internationalist
leader, visionary, fund-raiser and administrator who can build upon past success
and help to take the organization to an even higher level of impact. Expressions
of interest, nominations, and applications will be treated in strict confidence.

<P align=left>Since 1990, the MedPAN network brings together the managers of
Mediterranean Marine Protected Areas</P>
<P align=left>(MPAs) and supports them in their management activities. The
MedPAN organization became a legally</P>
<P align=left>independent structure at the end of 2008 and staffed its permanent
secretariat at the end of 2009. The purpose of</P>
<P align=left>the organization is to promote the creation, perpetuation and
operation of a Mediterranean network of Marine</P>
<P align=left>Protected Areas.</P>
<P align=left> </P>
<P align=left>The network is a resource for MPA managers to get informed, share
experience, expertise and thoughts. It</P>
<P align=left>contributes to achieving the objectives of the Convention on
Biological Diversity (Rio de Janeiro, 1992), the</P>
<P align=left>Barcelona Convention, in particular its protocol relating to
Specially Protected Areas and Biological Diversity in</P>
<P align=left>the Mediterranean (Barcelona, 1995), and other regional
instruments </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT color=#333333><FONT color=#333333><FONT

<P align=left>contributes to the implementation of related European policies

<P align=left>The network already includes over 30 structures in the
Mediterranean basin and keeps growing. To achieve its</P>
<P align=left>goals, MedPAN works with many strategic partners: WWF, which has
been supporting the network for more than</P>
<P align=left>10 years, the United Nations Environment Programme - RAC/SPA, the
IUCN-Med, the French Marine Protected</P>
<P align=left>Areas Agency, the Conservatoire du Littoral and ACCOBAMS.</P>

<P align=left>The network's action </FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT
color=#333333><FONT color=#333333><FONT color=#333333>is based on three main
lines: analyzing the network of MPAs in the Mediterranean</P>
<P align=left>(database, status of MPAs, network-wide monitoring), improving MPA
management - by promoting exchanges</P>
<P align=left>(communication tools, regional workshops) and by establishing a
MPA small project funding - and representing</P>
<P align=left>the network amongst regional and international institutions.</P>
<P align=left> </P>
<P align=left>In addition to its own actions, the aim of MedPAN also consists in
capitalizing and spreading the experience</P>
<P align=left>gained by its partners (through MedMPanet, MedPAN North, MedPAN
South projects, the PIM initiative</FONT></FONT></FONT><FONT color=#333333><FONT

<P>Buck Island Reef National Monument (BIRNM), located on the island of St.
Croix, US Virgin Islands, is seeking applicants for the position of Sea Turtle
Research Assistant (RA) to conduct sea turtle research and monitoring. This will
be the 24th year of the Buck Island Sea Turtle Research Program (BISTRP), a
long-term monitoring, research and conservation project supported by the
National Park Service (NPS), Buck Island Reef National Monument. BIRNM is a
nesting beach for hawksbill (Eretmochelys imbricata), green (Chelonia mydas),
leatherback (Dermochelys coriacea), and loggerhead (Caretta caretta) sea
turtles.</P>
<P><FONT face=tahoma></FONT> </P>
<P>RAs must be available from 10 July through 1 October 2011 (applicants must
state availability in their cover letter) and are expected to stay the length of
the project (specific dates will be identified in phone interviews). This is a
highly competitive project that is physically and mentally intense, aimed at
individuals who want to make ecology/resource management their career. RAs must
work equally effectively as a team and alone.</P>
<P><FONT face=tahoma></FONT> </P>
<P><FONT face=arial,helvetica,sans-serif>RAs will provide assistance to the NPS
staff in the collection and processing of field data. Buck Island's nesting
beaches will be monitored 7 days/week sundown to sunup, by a joint team of NPS
staff and RAs. Access to the island is by boat only, where there are minimal
facilities. RAs will be trained to meet the high standard of competency in sea
turtle monitoring established in the BISTRP protocol manual (<A
href="http://fl.biology.usgs.gov/Seaturtles.pdf"
target=_blank>http://fl.biology.usgs.gov/Seaturtles.pdf</A>). All nesting
turtles will be encountered; biometric data will be collected on turtles,
physical data will be collected on nest locations, and animals will be tagged
(inconel and PIT). Nests will be excavated to determine hatch success.
Imperiled nests will be relocated as part of continuing research to determine
optimal relocation conditions. RAs will collect soil samples, deploy temperature
loggers, take water-related measurements, and participate in processing
histological samples. RAs will also assist in deploying satellite and acoustic
tags. RAs may participate in snorkel surveys for foraging sea turtles and/or
assist in sea turtle stranding response incidents.RAs will gain an invaluable
experience learning research techniques from NPS biologists and encountering
threatened and endangered sea turtles in a pristine nesting habitat.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=tahoma></FONT><FONT
face=arial,helvetica,sans-serif></FONT> </P>
<P>Each RA will be scheduled for up to 5 nights on the beach, or 4 nights and 1
day of lab/office work (data entry and sample processing), on a dynamic
schedule. RAs will be responsible for field equipment care and maintenance. RAs
are also responsible for weekly daytime monitoring of beaches at The Buccaneer
Hotel, their residence, recording activities using GPS. RAs will also conduct
outreach to hotel guests. RAs will write a report at season's end summarizing
turtle nesting activities at The Buccaneer Hotel. </P>
<P><FONT face=tahoma></FONT> </P>
<P>RAs will receive two meals/day and lodging from The Buccaneer Hotel at no
cost to the RAs. A small weekly stipend will be allotted to each RA (less than
$100), and travel costs will be covered by the NPS. RAs need to seriously
consider their finances before applying to these openings; it will not be
possible to work locally while conducting RA duties. </P>
