Foreign assistance arrives to the country in great amounts for infrastructure development, including airports, seaports, coastal dredging, reclamation and a variety of other projects. The Agency involved in ensuring the environment is protected, the RMI Environmental Protection Authority, does not currently have the technical capacity or experience to handle the range of development activities. Assistance is sought for a Coastal Environmental Advisor for a range of duties that continue a capacity building process at the organization to build its self-reliance.<br> <br>Recently, a national coastal management framework for action has been adopted to deal with a range of coastal environment issues. This program includes full Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) for development projects, development of a Geographic Information System (GIS) for land-use planning, project management, conservation, and development of strategic steps of coastal management including: solid waste, dredging, marine water quality and coastal construction.<br> <br>A suitable candidate will be experienced in environmental management in coastal areas, preferably small island states, or tropical ecosystems. Flexibility and creativity in the workplace are extremely important to <br>facilitate the implementation of unique island solutions for unique atoll problems. Located in the capital of the Marshall Islands, Majuro Atoll, the EPA consists of nearly 20 staff members on three urban centers (Majuro, Ebeye and Jaluit Atolls.) Majuro Atoll is populated by roughly 30,000 people on a 30 mile extremely narrow reef rim. Management activities are prioritized in these urban centers and outer islands. Some travel to outer islands is expected, as well as some international travel.</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'>People interested in more information or submitting applications should contact: <br>Deborah Barker-Manase<br>General Manager<br>RMI Environmental Protection Authority<br>P.O Box 1322 Majuro Marshall Islands 96960<br>cell 692 455 3329 (debz) office 692 625 3035/5203<br>email: <a href="mailto:deb.manase@gmail.com" target="_blank">deb.manase@gmail.com</a> <br><br></span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:blue'>_______________________________________________________________________________________</span><span style='color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=default><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Fisheries Finance Specialist, EDF (English and Spanish)</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=default><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>La Paz, Mexico<o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=default><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=default><span style='font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>With world attention focused on both the environment and the economy, Environmental Defense Fund is where policymakers and business leaders turn for win-win solutions.
