Nearshore Marine Spatial Planning (MSP) Coordinator, Bermuda Institute 
of Ocean Sciences

Bermuda

Background:
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
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.


Position Description:
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.

Director, Southern Ocean Sanctuaries Campaign, Pew Environment Group

Washington, DC

Marine reserves increase ecological resilience, promote biodiversity and 
can improve the health of ocean systems. The Campaign Director will lead 
the Southern Ocean Sanctuaries Campaign, with the goal of mobilizing the 
public, media, and policymakers to agree to the designation of at least 
one no-take marine reserve of 300,000 to 600,000 square kilometers in 
Antarctica’s Southern Ocean.

The decision to create marine reserves in Antarctica’s Southern Ocean 
falls under the purview of the Antarctic Treaty and the Commission for 
the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), a 
consensus-based treaty and fisheries management organization with 25 
members (24 countries plus the European Union).   CCAMLR has already 
committed to establishing a representative network of marine protected 
areas and reserves in the Southern Ocean.  CCAMLR scientists have 
identified and recommended 11 priority areas for protection, including 
the Ross Sea, which is considered the gem of these areas and is the 
initial focus of this campaign.

The Campaign Director will lead the Southern Ocean Sanctuaries Campaign, 
with the goal of mobilizing the public, media, and policymakers to 
designate large scale no-take marine reserves in the Southern Ocean.  
The director will develop effective campaign strategies to further the 
impact and geographical scope of this high profile campaign, oversee and 
manage a talented team of campaign staff and report to the Director of 
International Ocean Conservation She or he will build effective 
relationships with senior policymakers in government and at 
international fora, key coalition partners, funders, scientists and the 
media to create support for the work of the campaign, through public 
education, advocacy, communications and research. Additionally, the 
Campaign Director is an integral part of the International Ocean 
Conservation team, and will contribute to efforts to raise resources for 
campaigns, and work collaboratively with team peers to support broader 
marine campaigns and initiatives.

It is expected that this position is for a term period through December 
31, 2013, with the possibility of an extension pending the success of 
the program, funding sources and board decisions on continued support.

Program Director, Global Ocean Legacy, Pew Environment Group

Washington, DC

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.

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.

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 
Papaha-naumokua-kea 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.

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.

Position Overview

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.

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 
possibility of an extension pending the success of the program, funding 
sources and board decisions on continued support.

Intern, Marine Fish Conservation Network

Washington, DC

About the job
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.


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.)


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.


About you
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.


Good people skills are a must—technical communications skills are 
helpful, but if you don’t know them, we’ll teach you.


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.

About us
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


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.


About Applying
E-mail your cover letter and resume to internships at conservefish.org 
<mailto:internships at conservefish.org>  and include your name in the 
subject line. We are accepting applications on a rolling basis until the 
position is filled.
