Mississippi's Pascagoula River Audubon Center (PRAC). This citizen

4. Postgraduate Fellowship: Ecosystem-Based Fisheries Management & 
Implementation, Virginia Sea Grant

Gloucester Point, VA

In partnership with the NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office, Virginia Sea Grant 
announces the availability of a two-year, postgraduate fellowship in 
ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM). This fellowship seeks to 
advance EBFM in the Chesapeake Bay by improving the understanding of 
linkages between fisheries, land-use changes, habitats, and the 
ecosystem services they provide. The fellow will leverage past EBFM work 
in the region, conduct literature review and extensive expert 
consultation, synthesize and integrate available scientific information, 
and develop decision support materials and conduct outreach to 
Chesapeake Bay coastal resource managers. While the specific EBFM 
project to be conducted will be determined in part by the expertise of 
the selected fellow, we envision a fellow working on a narrowly defined, 
concise project within one or more of the following thematic areas: 
climate change impacts on fisheries resources; ecosystem indicators for 
fishery management; habitat and fisheries linkages; or valuation.

See attached description for more information.
