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.
