Oracabessa Bay & Boscobel Fish Sanctuary Manager
Jamaica
The Oracabessa Bay and Boscobel Fish Sanctuaries were gazetted in 2010
as part of the Ministry of Agriculture and Fisheries’ programme to
protect and increase fish stocks in Jamaican waters. Management
responsibility for these two sanctuaries was delegated to the Oracabessa
Foundation (Oracabessa Bay sanctuary) and the Sandals Foundation
(Boscobel sanctuary) respectively. Although quite close geographically,
to date each sanctuary has been governed and managed separately; each
has progressed at its own pace and in its own unique direction.
Now, through funding from the CaribSave initiative, the two sanctuaries
have the opportunity to hire a joint manager - one who will have
responsibilities within both sanctuaries. This arrangement recognizes
the many similarities between the two sanctuaries (not to mention their
close proximity) and the efficiencies likely to derive from a shared
human resource. However, this arrangement will also likely provide
unique challenges as both sanctuaries are at different points in their
development and have established different operating cultures.
The job description outlined below attempts to lay out an initial
framework for a joint sanctuary manager. Some tasks and responsibilities
(noted below) will be the same for each area. Others may be a
significant portion of work in one sanctuary and not needed in the
other. Likely tasks will include (but not be limited to):
Joint Responsibilities:
• Establish and supervise the enforcement process and training of the
wardens;
• Implement public awareness, education and outreach programs;
• Hold meetings with stakeholders and public consultations;
• Supervise the CaribSave funded environmental and social monitoring
programs
Please see the attached description for more information.
