<p> </p>
<p>On the occasion of the tenth meeting of the Conference of
the Parties, the Sustainable Ocean Initiative (SOI) was
established by the CBD Secretariat together with the COP
Presidency and other partners to address the need for
capacity-building. The Sustainable Ocean Initiative provides
a global platform to build partnerships and enhance capacity
to achieve the Aichi Biodiversity Targets related to marine
and coastal biodiversity in a holistic manner. Its mission
includes facilitating the sharing and exchange of knowledge,
information, experiences and practices; enhancing
interactive communication among global policy, science and
local stakeholders; monitoring progress on Aichi
Biodiversity Targets related to marine and coastal
biodiversity; working together to achieve a balance between
the conservation and sustainable use of marine biodiversity;
and promoting flexible and diverse approaches towards this
end.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As part of the Sustainable Ocean Initiative, the
Secretariat is developing a guidance document on addressing
Aichi Biodiversity Targets on marine and coastal
biodiversity through the implementation of integrated
coastal management, building upon specific examples of
regional-level implementation of integrated management. Such
document will be made available for future capacity building
workshops being convened under the Sustainable Ocean
Initiative framework as well as Parties, other Governments
and relevant organizations for their efforts in<br>
applying integrated coastal management toward achieving
Aichi Biodiversity Targets.<br>
</p>
<p>In this regard, a consultant is to be hired by the SCBD,
under the supervision of the Principal Officer of the
division of Scientific, Technical and Technological Matters
(STTM), to prepare a draft guidance document on integrated
coastal management in the context of achieving Aichi
Biodiversity Targets.</p>

<p>This position is ideal for a strong communicator who excels
at strategic planning, problem solving and partnership
building and who has a passion for conserving marine
ecosystems and supporting the coastal communities that
depend on them. This position requires someone with
communications, public relations, marketing or campaign

<p><font size="3">MARINE MAMMAL BIOLOGIST, OCEANIC SOCIETY</font></p>
<p>BELIZE</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Oceanic Society (OS) is a 501(c)(3) non-profit
organization founded in California in 1969 whose mission is
to conserve marine wildlife and habitats by deepening
connections between people and nature through research,
community engagement, and first-hand experience. We support
community-focused, applied research to inform responsible
conservation strategies at numerous field sites around the
world and in the U.S. We have also fielded hundreds of
volunteers on dozens of natural history and research
expeditions to locations around the world, including
Micronesia, Mexico, Costa Rica, Belize, and California. OS
has operated in Belize since 1992 and has worked with and
supported numerous scientists conducting high quality
research over that time period.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> Both OS and the University of Belize’s Environmental
Research Institute (ERI) operate research field stations on
Turneffe Atoll in Belize, the largest coral atoll in the
western hemisphere. Applied research projects stage from
these field stations, including monitoring of critical
marine ecosystems like coral reefs, seagrasses, and
mangroves, as well as population surveys and ecology studies
on dolphins and crocodiles, manatees and more recently sea
turtles.</p>
<p> </p>
<p> To ensure that research at Turneffe Atoll is targeted to
meet needs of national and local resource managers, OS has
officially partnered with ERI, which is the national
clearinghouse for biodiversity monitoring data in Belize,
and is responsible for setting biodiversity conservation
research priorities and coordinating biodiversity monitoring
for Belize.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>In this context, OS is seeking a unique individual with
applied research experience with marine megafauna species,
particularly marine mammals (i.e. cetaceans or West Indian
manatees), to lead OS’s efforts to coordinate and strengthen
national research priorities for key marine species, as
outlined in ERI’s National Research Agenda, and to represent
OS in Belize. Areas of focus could include marine megafauna
conservation, determination of high-use areas and movement
patterns of marine megafauna species, marine policy or
marine spatial planning in Belize and the Meso-American Reef
system more broadly. The physical location of the position
will be split between ERI’s office in Belmopan and OS’s
Blackbird Caye field station on Turneffe. Position to start
in January 2013.</p>
