Vice President, Aquaculture, World Wildlife Fund
Washington, DC
In 2004, WWF initiated and coordinated the Aquaculture Dialogues, a
series of eight roundtables that included over 2,000 aquaculture
producers, retailers, NGOs, scientists and other important stakeholders
within the aquaculture industry. Together, the group developed
measurable and performance-based standards for responsibly farmed
seafood. In 2009, WWF co-founded the Aquaculture Stewardship Council
(ASC) with the Dutch Sustainable Trade Initiative (IDH) to manage the
global standards and certification programs. In addition, WWF helps
governments design policies that support responsible aquaculture and
encourages financial institutions to place sustainability filters on
their investments with the aquaculture industry.
WWF seeks a Vice President, Aquaculture who will be responsible for
overall strategy development and implementation for WWF-US’ aquaculture
work, building and managing a cross-functional, international team
working towards a common vision and objectives, and successfully
fundraise for and communicate our overall aquaculture efforts. The VP
will oversee and coordinate with a handful of WWF staff in key
aquaculture production regions, such as Asia and Latin America. In
addition, the VP will serve as a policy advocate before agencies and
other institutions on issues of significant importance to WWF's
aquaculture program. The ideal candidate is a leader in the aquaculture
industry with experience implementing complex programs and working
collaboratively to achieve conservation outcomes. The Vice President of
Aquaculture will report to the Senior Vice President for Market
Transformation.

Postdoctoral Fellow - California Ocean Science Trust & Southern
California Coastal Water Research Project
Costa Mesa, CA
The California Ocean Science Trust (OST) (www.calost.org
<http://www.calost.org>) and the Southern California Coastal Water
Research Project (SCCWRP) (www.sccwrp.org <http://www.sccwrp.org>) are
seeking a creative, dedicated and skilled individual for the position of
Postdoctoral Fellow. Reporting to the Program Director, California Ocean
Science Trust, the position will be part of a cross-functional and
multi-disciplinary team comprised of OST and SCCWRP staff and
contractors to support the integration of rigorous and unbiased science
into coastal and ocean policy and management.
The Postdoctoral Fellow will work closely with the water quality and
marine protected area (MPA) monitoring communities in southern
California to explore and pursue opportunities to align MPA and water
quality monitoring. Marine protected areas were implemented in
California’s South Coast region in 2012 and baseline monitoring is
ongoing. Water quality monitoring has continued for nearly 40 years and
is punctuated by spatially intensive regional surveys, the next of which
is scheduled for 2013. Both large-scale monitoring programs are
conducted by a diverse suite of governmental agencies, academic
institutions and citizen science groups. A timely opportunity exists to
critically evaluate and strategically pursue areas of intersection
between these programs. This includes assessment of key information
needs, program mandates and policies as well as practical measures of
capacity for data collection, analysis and information delivery to
managers. Areas of focus for the Postdoctoral Fellow will include
coordination of data collection as part of the “Bight ’13” monitoring
program, conducting data analyses to understand ocean ecosystem
conditions, and collaboratively developing ecosystem report cards to
inform ocean resource management.

The Convention and its protocol concerning cooperating in combating
pollution in cases of emergency came into force in 1984. To date the
Convention covers the marine environment, coastal zones and related
inland waters falling within the jurisdiction of the States of the
Western African Region, from Mauritania to South Africa.
The functions and operations of the Convention Secretariat which is
located in Abidjan, Ivory Coast, are administered by the United Nations
Environment Programme (UNEP).
The Convention is currently under a revitalization process after several
years of slowdown in its operations.
In order to strengthen this revitalization process, DEPI/UNEP would like
to recruit an Assistant Coordinator for Ecosystem Management for the
Secretariat of the Abidjan Convention. The post is located in Abidjan,
Ivory Coast. UNDP is organizing the recruitment process on behalf of UNEP.
