5. Officer, Global Tuna Conservation, Pew Charitable Trust

Washington, DC

Pew’s Global Tuna Conservation Campaign works to ensure a future for the 
world’s largest tuna species and the largest tuna fishery.  Industrial 
fishing vessels place more nets and hooks in the water in their search 
for tunas than in any other fishery in the world. These vessels are also 
responsible for the incidental catch of massive numbers of sharks, 
billfish, turtles, seabirds, and other marine species caught as 
collateral damage by these fisheries.  Unfortunately, as valuable 
migratory species that cross national and international boundaries, 
developing the tools to effectively and sustainably manage tuna 
fisheries has proven challenging. Pew aims to ensure that in ten years 
from now, our work has ended or prevented the overfishing of the 6 major 
commercially fished tuna species in the Atlantic and Pacific Oceans. We 
work to achieve this by pushing for strong compliance and enforcement 
measures for bluefin tuna in the Atlantic, and precautionary catch 
limits for select tuna species in the Pacific, thereby establishing the 
legal and regulatory framework to end overfishing on the 
water. Simultaneously, we are working for much-needed reforms for the 
two major gears used to catch tuna: purse seines with fish aggregating 
devices (FADs) and surface longlines.

The Global Tuna Conservation Campaign is one of eight projects that fit 
within Pew’s International Ocean Conservation program.

Position Overview:

The Officer, Global Tuna Conservation is responsible for delivering 
campaign outcomes across the full campaign portfolio through provision 
of strategic leadership on, and implementation of, outreach strategies 
and activities. The position reports to the Campaign Director.

It is expected that this position is for a term period through March 31, 
2015, with the possibility of an extension pending the success of the 
program, funding sources and board decisions on continued support.

the southeast U.S. It is expected that this position is for a term 
period through September 30, 2013 with the possibility of an extension

16. Policy Officer, Transparent Seas Project (Africa), WWF Mozambique

Maputo, Mozambique

The Smart Fishing Initiative (SFI) is a new WWF Programme that strives 
to improve marine ecosystem health through making commercial fishing 
around the world sustainable. It is helping to generate a new fisheries 
paradigm that ensures healthy and productive oceans are recovering and 
provide sustainably produced protein to meet seafood demand and 
sustainable livelihoods for fishers and fish processors. The overarching 
goal of the SFI is to achieve sustainable fisheries through effective 
governance, responsible seafood markets, and innovative financial 
mechanisms.


SFI’s Transparent Seas Project works globally to make fishing more 
transparent and to ensure that the seafood reaching markets is fully 
traceable to legal sources by:

Promoting laws and policies to keep the products of illegal, unreported, 
or unregulated (IUU) fishing from entering ports or crossing 
international borders;

Working with industry towards “business smart” solutions to make all 
seafood fully traceable “from bait to plate"; and

Helping fishermen, industry, and governments adopt tracking systems to 
monitor fishing activity and document catches.

In Africa, the project is focused in particular on promoting resource 
stewardship and securing livelihoods through improved monitoring, 
control, and surveillance against IUU fishing, and by facilitating the 
connections between responsible fishing activities and profitable 
seafood markets.
