Community Fisheries Coordinator, Ecology Action Centre **Deadline July 15**
Halifax, Nova Scotia, Canada
The Community Fisheries Coordinator will be an integral part of the
marine staff and will be responsible for project deliverables relating
to market based approaches for supporting small-scale fisheries. Small-
scale fisheries and sustainable types of fishing gear are better for the
environment and coastal economies than consolidated, industrial fishing
fleets, but they are threatened by market forces and disadvantaged by
government policy. This project connects fishing communities with
markets looking for sustainable seafood, advocates for policy changes to
support small-scale but high-value fisheries, and develops social
finance tools and solutions to ensure long-term and intergenerational
community access to fishery resources.

The International Arctic Research Center (IARC) of the University of
Alaska Fairbanks seeks two instructors in physical oceanography and
arctic sea ice for the 2013 summer school session cruise on board the
Russian research vessel "Akademik Fedorov." The 33-day cruise departs 20

Policy Intern, Marine Conservation Institute
Washington, DC
Internship Overview
Marine Conservation Institute¡¯s internship program provides motivated
and academically-promising students an opportunity to apply their
knowledge and skills in a real©\world arena. During their internship,
students work closely with science and policy staff on cutting edge
issues in marine conservation biology and ocean policy. Most of the
internship opportunities are geared towards graduate students or
students who have recently completed graduate degrees, although we have
on occasion developed opportunities for undergraduates to work on
pressing marine conservation issues.
For internship positions, we seek individuals with excellent
communication skills, substantive knowledge or professional experience
in marine or environmental science or policy, and who share our
commitment to the preservation of marine life and biological diversity.
We also prefer candidates who have a demonstrated ability to work
independently, with minimal direct supervision.
Working out of our DC office, policy interns have the opportunity to
work closely with our policy staff to gain important skills in
conservation advocacy. Previous policy interns have had the opportunity
to assist with establishing National Monuments and our National Marine
Sanctuaries Reauthorization efforts. Policy interns have described their
internship experience as being important for learning about lobbying and
the legislative process and for understanding more about packaging
science for Federal decision makers. These internships coincide with the
academic calendar.
Responsibilities and Duties:
Internship activities include:
* Conducting research on US marine policy and special marine places
* Setting lobbying appointments with congressional staffers
* Accompanying Marine Conservation Institute staff on visits to the
Hill/agencies and keeping records of visits
* Staying abreast of and briefing staff on marine conservation news &
Congressional hearings and markups
* Preparing educational materials and fact sheets
* Drafting reports or sections of reports
* Providing administrative support (answer phones, file, purchase
office supplies, open & distribute mail, computer troubleshoot,
etc.). This constitutes approximately 20% of the intern¡¯s time.
Compensation:
We would prefer to hire a full-time intern (40 hours/week), but will
consider bringing on a part-time intern (20 hours/week). Internships are
on a volunteer basis. No benefits or relocation costs are provided,
except standard holidays falling during the internship term. We are
willing to work with interns and their universities to obtain academic
credit for internship work. Opportunities for independent research in
marine conservation should be discussed at the time of interview.
Period of Internship
End of June - End August or September
Application Process
To apply to the internships, please send the following material via
e-mail to internships at marine-conservation.org
