<p><font size="3">Director of Seafood Engagement, Business and
Industry - #13046, WWF</font></p>
<p>Washington, DC</p>
<p> </p>
<p>World Wildlife Fund (WWF), the world’s leading conservation
organization, seeks a Director of Seafood Engagement for
Business and Industry. Under the supervision of the Manager,
The Director will develop an overarching corporate seafood
engagement strategy to target the key private sector
companies most important for WWF’s priority seafood species
and work with them to create demand for sustainable seafood
(both aquaculture and wild caught). This strategy will both
build on and identify key gaps in the work that WWF-US has
undertaken to date with major buyers regarding the purchase
of MSC and ASC certified seafood with regard to WWF priority
species. Special emphasis will be given to seafood retailers
and brands and subsectors not yet incorporated into WWF’s
seafood engagement strategy, including hotel chains, pet
food companies, and other strategic retailers and brands.
This includes driving integration of new seafood strategic
thinking into existing WWF partnerships, overseeing
relationships with new and existing partners, and
transmitting WWF’s sustainable seafood message with “one
voice” (fisheries and aquaculture).</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The Director will promote WWF’s work on sustainable seafood
through engagement with the seafood value chain. The
Director will build on, complement, and support existing
strategies by working with members of the Aquaculture and
Fisheries teams, Business & Industry, the Market
Transformation Initiative and the Smart Fisheries Initiative
to encourage the private sector and its supply chains to
support and promote fisheries and aquaculture improvement
projects (through formal FIPs and AIPs) as step-wise
approaches to MSC or ASC certification. The Director will
also work with the WWF-Network to develop and implement
parallel global seafood engagement strategies with the
private sector and link more sustainable seafood supplies
with US markets. Finally, the Director will support, as
appropriate, the creation of capacity to engage on seafood
issues with the private sector in WWF’s priority places and
in particular in the BRIICs.</p>

<p>Trout Unlimited (TU), North America's leading coldwater
fisheries conservation organization, works to protect,
restore and reconnect critical trout and salmon habitat
throughout the West. In the West, intact fish and game
habitat translates directly into quality hunting and
fishing. Trout Unlimited's Sportsmen's Conservation Project
(SCP) works to protect intact landscapes from threats that
would degrade quality habitat and put in jeopardy our
irreplaceable hunting and fishing heritage.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>We are seeking an organizer in southwest Oregon to join the
SCP, a TU program with approximately 25 staff members
located throughout the West. The organizer will work with
sportsmen and women, public land managers, stakeholders and
decision-makers to protect and restore high-quality
steelhead, salmon and trout habitat on public land in a
manner supported by local communities.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Duties and Responsibilities</p>
<p>•Educating, organizing and mobilizing fellow anglers and
hunters is the primary strategy employed to achieve
conservation goals, but obtaining durable conservation
outcomes often requires working with a diverse range of
interests.<br>
•Near-term conservation goals include conserving high
quality habitat on "Oregon and California" lands in Oregon
and securing new protections for exceptional salmon and
steelhead habitat in the Elk River watershed.<br>
•The organizer will be part of the SCP's Northwest Region
team and will report to the Northwest/Northern Rockies
Director.<br>

</p>
<p> </p>
<p>As part of 10 years of active research by the Central
Caribbean Marine Institute (CCMI), students are engaged in
data collection at one of the world's most beautiful coral
reefs surrounding Little Cayman and the Bloody Bay Marine
Park. Throughout the Caribbean, coral reefs are suffering a
catastrophic decline. The mission of CCMI is to study what
is happening and to recommend solutions for sustaining
marine biodiversity. CCMI invites students to help in this
important work. The program goals are to enhance student
research training, increase the interest in coral reef
science and conservation, and to provide useful data to
assist CCMI in our long-term ecosystem research.
</p>
<p>Students prepare for marine conservation research by
learning principles of sustainability, essential theories of
marine protection and management, and by reviewing case
studies. Students work in teams to develop an independent
field research project to explore the successes and failures
of marine protection. The Long-Term Assessment and
Monitoring Program (LAMP) provides a framework for many of
our population and habitat field studies. Students will be
required to complete a joint research poster that may be
published or presented at a national or international

<p>The Mangrove Action Project, an international NGO focused
on conserving and restoring mangrove forests around the
world, has launched a campaign called “<strong><em>Question
Your Shrimp</em></strong>.” The campaign aims to
increase awareness and change behaviors around the
consumption of farmed shrimp from overseas, which has proven
to be so highly destructive of mangrove forests around the
world and the rich ecology and marine life these forests
support. The Question Your Shrimp campaign intends to fight
this destruction through the power of conscientious
consumption and ecologically responsible business. Our goal
is for consumers, restaurants, and seafood retailers to sign
our Pledge to not eat, serve, or sell imported farmed
tropical shrimp, and thus
<a moz-do-not-send="true" name="__DdeLink__1044_251503913">halt
further expansion of the destructive tropical shrimp

<p> </p>
<p>MAP currently seeks interns to help with the first phase of
the QYS campaign. In this phase, MAP will conduct a survey
of Seattle area restaurateurs. The survey aims to gauge
current knowledge levels around social and environmental
issues related to the production and consumption of farmed
shrimp from overseas, and determine the barriers which might
prevent them from joining our cause and signing the Pledge
to stop serving this shrimp and serve only sustainable
shrimp.</p>
