In collaboration with Stanford's Center for Ocean Solutions and The Nature Conservancy of California, we are working to help various decision-makers in Monterey Bay to include natural capital in climate adaptation planning for coastal communities. We seek a multi-talented individual for a 1-year position to help us apply marine InVEST, a spatially-explicit tool that tracks the production and valuation of ecosystem services, in the Monterey Bay region. The successful candidate will interact with local decision-makers and stakeholders, amass the best available local data, parameterize and run InVEST models, and clearly communicate results to diverse audiences. Multiple types of disciplinary expertise will be considered (e.g. ecology, oceanography, natural resource economics, coastal engineering).

OSF works to manage fish stocks important to commercial, recreational and subsistence fisheries through guidance and support of Regional Offices and Regional Fishery Management Councils. OSF also strives to facilitate effective communication between and among constituents. The Atlantic Highly Migratory Species Management Division of the National Marine Fisheries Service manages Atlantic highly migratory species (HMS); including tunas, sharks, swordfish and billfish. Management of HMS requires international cooperation, and rebuilding programs must reflect traditional participation in the fisheries by U.S. fishermen, relative to foreign fleets. Along with the Magnuson-Stevens Act, U.S. fisheries management must be consistent with the requirements of other laws including the Atlantic Tunas Convention Act, Marine Mammal Protection Act, the Endangered Species Act, the Migratory Bird Treaty Act, and several other Federal laws.</span><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p style='line-height:115%;background:white;vertical-align:baseline'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#2A2A2A'> <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'><a href="http://www.imsg.com/index.php/careers/current-opportunities/noa11042/" target="_blank">http://www.imsg.com/index.php/careers/current-opportunities/noa11042/</a></span><span style='color:#2A2A2A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:#2A2A2A'> <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:blue'>__________________________________________________________________________________________</span><span style='color:#2A2A2A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:#2A2A2A'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:black'>Fisheries Data Entry/Data Processor, NOAA</span><span style='color:#2A2A2A'><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'>Gloucester, MA</span><span style='color:#2A2A2A'><o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=MsoNormal style='margin:0in;margin-bottom:.0001pt'><span style='color:#2A2A2A'> <o:p></o:p></span></p><p class=default0 style='line-height:115%;background:white;vertical-align:baseline'><span style='font-size:10.0pt;line-height:115%;font-family:"Tahoma","sans-serif";color:#333333'>As a cornerstone for the analysis of the state of the fishery and general health of the fishing resource, it is necessary to collect and promptly and accurately process all vessel fishing report data.
