Conservancy's Trash Free Seas Program is a dynamic initiative focused on
eliminating trash in our ocean. The Trash Free Seas Program seeks to reduce the
flow of trash that ends up in the ocean, remove trash from the ocean, coasts and
waterways, and reinvent products and packaging to reduce ocean trash. For 25
years, Ocean Conservancy has been the dominant voice on ocean trash as the
founder and leader of the International Coastal Cleanup, the world's largest
volunteer effort for our ocean and waterways. Ocean Conservancy's <st1:place
w:st="on"><st1:PlaceName w:st="on">Trash</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceName
w:st="on">Free</st1:PlaceName> <st1:PlaceType
w:st="on">Seas</st1:PlaceType></st1:place> initiative is building on this
foundation and significantly expanding the efforts and tools available to
address ocean trash. Our primary emphases include deepening the scientific
understanding of ocean trash, building a social movement to demand trash free
seas, engaging industry to develop solutions and advancing policies that create
trash free seas. A key innovation of the expanded initiative is the
establishment of the Trash Free Seas Alliance, a cooperative group of
businesses, trade associations, NGOs, scientific institutions, community groups
and leaders and other leading organizations who share the common goal of
eliminating trash from our ocean. <o:p></o:p></SPAN></H3>

solutions and product innovation around trash commonly found in the ocean
including plastic bags, cigarettes, plastic bottles, single-use food packaging,

on marine debris, the Director will collaborate closely with Ocean Conservancy
conservation science and policy staff to strengthen the value of data collected
during the International Coastal Cleanup, cement scientific knowledge on the
issue of marine debris to support science-based policy solutions, and produce
materials to build a scientifically-credible case for eliminating trash in the
ocean. The Director will work closely with Ocean Conservancy's communications

Program/Steller sea lion field camps<BR> <BR>Aquatic Farms (Ltd. of
Honolulu, Hawaii), a contractor for The National Marine Fisheries Service
(NMFS), Alaska Fishery Science Center, is soliciting cover letters and resumes
for the upcoming 2011 field season to study the western stock of endangered
Steller sea lions (/Eumetopias jubatus/) in Alaska. This work is part of a
long-term annual population abundance and survival monitoring program. Duties
include conducting counts, identifying individual sea lions by tags, brands, and
natural markings, and monitoring reproduction and survival at remote field sites
in Alaska. For general information about the program, visit this website: <A

target=_blank>http://www.afsc.noaa.gov/nmml/alaska/</A><BR><BR>Employment will
be from May 16-Aug 8, 2011. Between 1 and 6 new biological technicians will be
contracted for the 2011 field season. Compensation is provided (both regular and
overtime rates). Application information is listed below.<BR><BR>The first week
of employment (May 16-21, 2011) is spent in Seattle training. Attendance is
mandatory and successful completion of training is required for all field team
members each season. Food and lodging in Seattle are not provided.
Transportation from Seattle to and from Alaska and the field site, food, and
lodging in the field are provided. Field teams are typically in Alaska for 8-10
weeks. Employment period ends at the end of the field season and there is no
additional work.</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Tahoma><BR>Field work is conducted by 2-4 member
teams in remote camps located at either Ugamak Island (eastern Aleutian Islands)
or Marmot Island (central Gulf of Alaska). All personnel are expected to perform
daily research duties as well as camp maintenance (chopping wood, hauling water,
cooking, and compost toilet maintenance, etc.). Participants are required to
stay for the duration of the field season and there are no crew changes. Field
stations are remote, there are no other residents on the islands, and outside
communication is limited (no cell phone coverage and no email). Researchers live
in small shelters at the various sites with no running water or electricity.
Field stations are accessible only by ship or helicopter.<BR><BR>Each camp is
staffed with one field camp leader and 1-2 assistants. The camp leader serves as
the senior person in the camp and generally has previous experience on this
project. Field camp leaders are responsible for field camp logistics and
maintenance, ensuring that research goals are met and that safety protocols are
followed, ensuring that all data is entered and edited during the season, the
return of field equipment and supplies, and producing an annual report at end of
field season. Under the guidance of a field camp leader, field camp assistants
help with camp preparation, data collection, data entry and editing, and field
gear inventory and packing. All team members maintain a safe working environment
for field personnel, participate in daily camp maintenance and operation, and
assist with the return of field equipment and supplies at the end of the
season.<BR> <BR>Research Duties</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Tahoma>Research is conducted outdoors 7 days per
week, often in inclement weather. Temperatures at field sites can range from 35

daypack, over rough and uneven terrain, steep slopes, rocky ledges, and have no
fear of heights or flying in helicopters. Observation stations are located on
the edge of cliffs or overlooks above the sea lions. Observers will be expected
to use binoculars and <BR>spotting scopes for long periods of time and be able
to recognize markings or brands on sea lions. /There is generally no animal
handling during field camp operations./ Sea lions should be unaware of the
presence of biologists. Candidates should be in excellent physical condition
with no pre-existing health problems such as heart disease, severe allergies,
depression, debilitating asthma or other ailments that will compromise their
health, the health and safety of others in the camp, or the completion of
research duties.<BR> <BR>Minimum Qualifications</FONT></FONT></P>
<P><FONT size=2><FONT face=Tahoma>Candidates must be U.S. citizens and have an
education in a biological science. A Bachelor?s degree in biology or <BR>related

<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>The Marine Ecology Lab is looking for interns to
help conduct research on several on-going projects in various <BR>nearshore
benthic habitats along the Northern Gulf Coast. Research will be based out of
the Dauphin Island Sea Lab located on Dauphin Island, Alabama at the mouth of
Mobile Bay. Interns will work closely with Dr. Ken Heck, his lab technicians and
graduate students.<BR><BR>We are looking for interns for both summer and fall
seasons. The duration of the internship is about 3 months. The internship will

through August. Fall interns will start in August and continue through November.
You may apply for both seasons if you wish.<BR> <BR>Duties and
responsibilities</FONT></DIV>
<DIV dir=ltr><FONT size=2>Interns will be required to participate heavily in
field-based activities, which are sometimes characterized by long hours and
potentially arduous conditions. Field research will include seagrass restoration
and monitoring, juvenile snappers and gag grouper habitat assessment, and
monthly sampling of restored oyster reefs near Dauphin Island, Alabama. For more
information regarding current projects, please check the Marine Ecology Lab

analytical methods (chlorophyll analysis and nutrient analysis). There will also
be opportunities to learn other ecological field sampling techniques in a
variety of marine environments. In addition, <BR>interns are encouraged to
attend seminars on current topics in marine science hosted at the Dauphin Island
Sea Lab and at the University of South Alabama.<BR><BR>We are seeking people who
are committed and enthusiastic about marine science and may be considering
marine ecology as a career. This job requires long days of physically demanding
field work and long hours sorting samples in the lab. Experience (although not
