IUU fishing/Fisheries management contractor (full-time, remote) (location preference for United States Eastern Time)
ABOUT US
Founded in 2006, Sustainable Fisheries Partnership (SFP) is a marine conservation organization working toward a world where the oceans are healthy, all seafood is produced sustainably, and everyone has access to sustainable seafood. We leverage the power of seafood buyers and retailers in every part of the seafood supply chain to rebuild depleted fish stocks, reduce the environmental impacts of fishing and fish farming, address social issues in fishing, and advance economic opportunities for fishers and their communities. Our Supply Chain Roundtables (SRs) allow seafood suppliers to work together in a pre-competitive environment to promote and support improvements in fishery and aquaculture practices, management, and policy. Visit us at www.sustainablefish.org and follow us on Facebook, Twitter, and LinkedIn.
ABOUT THE CONSULTANCY
If you have a broad command of fisheries management and experience related to IUU fishing through research, analysis, data collection, management, and/or enforcement, this position will empower you to contribute in a meaningful way and make a difference in important ocean conservation efforts. SFP is looking for someone whose experience and personal values and interests align with our mission. We embrace our inclusive culture and encourage candidates of all backgrounds and perspectives to apply.
SFP is expanding the scope of its efforts to combat illegal, unreported, and unregulated (IUU) fishing globally and systematically. The organization has recently received multi-year funding to support this work. Specifically, SFP will raise the profile of IUU risks and evidence to seafood supply chains by collecting and analyzing more available data related to IUU fishing. To help address this issue, technologies such as electronic monitoring have improved, reduced in cost, and have been adapted to target IUU fishing. SFP’s aim is to establish connections between the private (i.e., seafood industry) and public (i.e., fisheries regulators) sectors to work together to strengthen the fight against IUU fishing.
ACTIVITIES AND DELIVERABLES
Consultant will provide SFP services across a range of IUU projects on a relatively tight time schedule. Services will include the following:
b. Assist the FishSource team in writing the final draft of the methodology and guidance for analysts to evaluate fisheries using the new scores
b. Assist the Global Policy Director in researching and writing sections of the draft report
c. Compile feedback on the draft from at least five internal (SFP) and five external stakeholders
d. Assist the Global Policy Director in writing and publication of a final report for applying EM to fight IUU fishing
LEVEL OF EFFORT
This is a full-time consultancy. The anticipated start date is 12 February 2024. Approximately 8-month contract.
COMPENSATION
Fixed consulting fee (negotiable)
