<p><font size="3">Vice President of Conservation and Science,
Monterey Bay Aquarium<br>
</font>Monterey, CA<br>
</p>
<p>The Monterey Bay Aquarium seeks to recruit a Vice President
of Conservation and Science.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Vice President is responsible for overall leadership of
the aquarium’s Conservation and Science Division and is a
member of the senior leadership team of the aquarium. The
current activity areas in this division include Seafood
Watch, ocean conservation policy and conservation research.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Through its work in conservation and science, the aquarium
has redefined the public aquarium as a force for tangible
conservation results. The aquarium’s role as a trusted
source of information and its ability to communicate with
millions of people provide huge opportunities to influence
people to act on behalf of ocean conservation, through their
consumer habits and their voices for policy change. The
aquarium’s flagship program, Seafood Watch, is having a
powerful influence driving concrete action by individuals
and businesses, in turn driving a remarkable rate of growth
in the sustainable seafood movement. Building on this
success, in the coming years Seafood Watch will continue to
serve as the main source of credible research for the
sustainable seafood movement and leverage its influence in
creating a future in which seafood is farmed and fished in
ways that lead to healthy oceans and thriving communities.
In the ocean policy arena, the aquarium has focused its
efforts on a policy agenda that is selective to ensure that
it achieves maximum impact and avoids duplicating the work
of others. The aquarium was deeply involved in the
implementation of California’s Marine Life Protection Act
and has sponsored and supported a suite of wildlife
protection bills over the years that link to the key species
of Monterey Bay and its exhibit themes. In the broader
arena, with several aquarium trustees having served on the
Pew Oceans Commission, the policy group has also worked to
implement ocean policy reform at the national, regional and
state level. To inform its ocean policy priorities, the
Conservation Research program will support a focused
research effort, continuing to be closely aligned with the
aquarium’s policy priorities and built from the aquarium’s
exhibit themes and species which reflect its core expertise.

<p>Harbor Branch Oceanographic Institute at Florida Atlantic
University is now accepting applications for two voluntary
research positions in the Population Biology and Behavioral
Ecology (PBBE) Program. Successful applicants will
participate in marine mammal photo-identification including
image analysis, field work, and potentially GIS mapping
work. Positions are available throughout the year with 3
sessions: mid January - mid May; mid May - mid August; mid
August - mid December.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>There is some flexibility with the above dates. Please
submit application materials with as much notice as

for a longer duration, it may be possible to combine two of
the above sessions. Volunteers will be expected to commit to
a minimum of 30 hours per week, excluding University
recognized holidays.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Harbor Branch is located in Fort Pierce, FL, adjacent to
the Indian River Lagoon. The PBBE program conducts
boat-based photo-ID surveys of Western North Atlantic
bottlenose dolphins in estuarine waters of Eastern Florida.
We investigate multiple aspects of dolphin population
biology, foraging ecology and social organization, including
temporal and spatial aspects of abundance and distribution.
Voluntary Researchers will primarily focus on image analysis
with some photo-ID field work.
