Science Trust & Southern California Coastal Water
Research Project</font></p>
<p>Costa Mesa, CA</p>
<p><br>
Overview<br>
The California Ocean Science Trust (OST) (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.calost.org"
target="_blank">www.calost.org</a>) and the Southern
California Coastal Water Research Project (SCCWRP) (<a
moz-do-not-send="true" href="http://www.sccwrp.org"
target="_blank">www.sccwrp.org</a>) are seeking a
creative, dedicated and skilled individual for the position
of Postdoctoral Fellow. Reporting to the Program Director,
California Ocean Science Trust, the position will be part of
a cross-functional and multi-disciplinary team comprised of
OST and SCCWRP staff and contractors to support the
integration of rigorous and unbiased science into coastal
and ocean policy and management.</p>
<p><br>
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work closely with the water
quality and marine protected area (MPA) monitoring
communities in southern California to explore and pursue
opportunities to align MPA and water quality monitoring.
Marine protected areas were implemented in California’s
South Coast region in 2012 and baseline monitoring is
ongoing. Water quality monitoring has continued for nearly
40 years and is punctuated by spatially intensive regional
surveys, the next of which is scheduled for 2013. Both

collection, analysis and information delivery to managers.
Areas of focus for the Postdoctoral Fellow will include
coordination of data collection as part of the “Bight ’13”
monitoring program, conducting data analyses to understand
ocean ecosystem conditions, and collaboratively developing
ecosystem report cards to inform ocean resource management.</p>
<p><br>
The position will be based at SCCWRP in Costa Mesa,
California but frequent travel to OST in Oakland and
throughout California and potentially the US, will be
expected. Minimum requirements for application include PhD
in biology, marine biology, ecology or related field. The
preferred candidate will have excellent quantitative skills
and demonstrated collaboration and communication skills. The
position is a 1-year, fixed-term appointment with some
possibility of extension. The position is funded by OST with
in-kind support from SCCWRP. Salary will be commensurate
with experience and is expected to be in the range of
$50,000-$60,000. Generous benefits including medical, dental
and vision insurance are included.</p>

Coordinator, Bermuda Institute of Ocean Sciences</font></p>
<p>Bermuda</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Background:<br>
The Bermuda government has committed to Marine Spatial
Planning (MSP) for its nearshore waters on the Bermuda
Platform (i.e., mean high tide to ~200 m depth). The process
of developing a zoning plan for the Platform will be led by
the Departments of Environmental Protection (DEP) and
Conservation Services (DCS), with input and involvement from
numerous other government departments. Researchers from the
University of California Santa Barbara (UCSB), with
financial support from the Waitt Foundation, have committed
to providing scientific and<br>
analytical support to evaluate alternative proposed spatial
plans and to identify MSP options that maximize the
collective value of Bermuda’s ocean uses (i.e., commercial
and recreational fishing, diving, boating, shipping,
conservation, aquaculture, offshore energy, etc.) and
minimize conflicts across the different uses and priorities.
A Steering Committee, jointly chaired by DEP and DCS, will
lead the public policy process and will include
representatives from all relevant government departments. A
Technical Working Group, also with inter-departmental
representation, will be responsible for developing and
evaluating alternative spatial plans, with analytical
support from UCSB. The process is anticipated to take
multiple years and will include extensive government input,
data compilation, analysis and modeling of spatial plans,
detailed public consultation and government approval, plus
additional time for implementation.</p>
<p><br>
Position Description:<br>
A public-private partnership among the Waitt Foundation, the
Bermuda Government (DEP and DCS) and the Bermuda Institue of
Ocean Sciences (BIOS), is seeking a qualified individual to
serve as the Coordinator for the marine spatial planning
process as a full-time staff member of BIOS, reporting to
the Chief Operating Officer. The Coordinator would commence
work as soon as possible and would receive a 1 year
contract, renewable for subsequent years conditional on
performance.

<p> </p>
<p>Global Ocean Legacy is a project of the Pew Environment
Group that works to protect and conserve some of the Earth’s
most important and unspoiled marine ecosystems through the
establishment of very large, highly protected marine
reserves.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Since 2005, Global Ocean Legacy has been instrumental in
securing the full protection of almost 1.5 million square
kilometres of the globe’s most spectacular seascapes,
including more than half of the highly protected no-take
marine reserves now in place worldwide.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Our efforts, working with national and local governments,
locally-based conservation organizations and indigenous
people to help build public support for marine reserves,
have led to the designation of the Papahānaumokuākea Marine
National Monument in Hawaii, the Mariana Trench Marine
National Monument in the Commonwealth of the Northern
Mariana Islands (US), the Chagos Marine Reserve (UK) in the
Indian Ocean—the largest no-take marine reserve in the world
– and the recent announcement by the Australian government
of a half million square kilometer marine park in the Coral
Sea.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Currently, project staff is working to achieve the
designation of some of the largest potential marine reserves
in the world in the Kermadec Islands, Easter Island,
Bermuda, the Pitcairn Islands, and South Georgia and the
South Sandwich Islands and are investigating additional
sites in the French overseas territories.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Position Overview</p>
<p>The Program Director, Global Ocean Legacy, is responsible
for the overall management, and successful completion of the
on-the-ground project site efforts to establish very large,
no-take marine reserves. Individual marine reserve sites
are currently underway in eight political jurisdictions.
Each will take from two to six years to complete and are
directly managed by in-country staff. The Program Director
is responsible for general oversight, strategic direction,
and ultimate success of these sites and their in-country
staff. The position will directly supervise five directors
and be broadly responsible for the eight projects currently
underway.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>This position is part of the Global Ocean Legacy management
team within the Pew Environment Group, and reports to the
Project Director, Global Ocean Legacy. The position is
located in Washington DC. It is expected that this position
is for a term period through June 30, 2017, with the

<p>Washington, DC<br>
<br>
About the job<br>
It’s hard work creating a prosperous fishing future, and we
couldn’t do it without dedicated, passionate interns who
lend a diverse skillset to our work for a few months.</p>
<p><br>
An internship with us includes a number of support tasks
that will familiarize you with the fisheries world:
communications tasks like media monitoring, reviewing social
media, administrative tasks such as researching funding
opportunities, and maintaining our awe-inducing SalesForce
based database. (Seriously. It rocks.)</p>
<p><br>
In addition to these tasks, you will be encouraged to work
on an independent project. Perfect intern projects are made
up of things that intersect your interests and our needs.
Our needs are many, and your interests should be too. We’ll
work with you to determine project focus and scope but
you’ll be in the driver’s seat.</p>
<p><br>
About you<br>
You are motivated, passionate, and fun. You’re interested in
learning more about the fisheries world and making a
difference. Working with us is exactly the thing you need to
do to launch you onto your path of greatness, whatever that
may be. You’ll work hard to learn the ropes quickly.</p>
<p><br>
Good people skills are a must—technical communications
skills are helpful, but if you don’t know them, we’ll teach
you.</p>
<p><br>
This is an unpaid internship, but we will provide a stipend
for your commute, and introduce you to as many awesome
people as we can think of. In order for us all to benefit
from this relationship, we’d appreciate it if you’d stick
around for a minimum of 12 weeks. </p>
<p> </p>
<p>About us<br>
Our nation’s fisheries were in crisis—until we built the
alliance that turned the tide. Twenty years later, we’re
closer than ever to ending overfishing and restoring health
to US fish stocks. How have we done it? To find out more
visit our website athttp://www.conservefish.org</p>
<p><br>
We work hard; we have fun. And even though we have a long
and proud history as an NGO, our new team, our can-do
culture and our nimble operating style have us running more
like a startup.</p>
