Pew's conserving marine life in the United States (CMLUS) project focuses on protecting essential habitats found in coastal waters like oyster reefs, seagrass meadows, kelp forests, and salt marsh that provide nursery areas, food and refuge for a diversity of marine wildlife. Efforts include working with communities and partners to advance policy and management measures at the state and federal levels that conserve and restore economically and ecologically valuable coastal habitats. Additionally, the project promotes incorporating blue carbon into State Natural and Working Lands Strategies and establishing blue carbon targets in order to elevate the importance of coastal habitats.
Position Overview
The officer is a seasoned campaigner who collaborates with the CMLUS project director to lead and coordinate strategy implementation in California, while also overseeing other initiatives. The strategy includes a targeted but ambitious set of objectives focused on securing nearshore and coastal habitat conservation measures in U.S. coastal waters. The officer contributes to broader project strategies and objectives, providing expertise, insights, and feedback; represents Pew in meetings with government officials; builds new partnerships with stakeholder groups; works with policy experts and scientists to ensure that advocacy efforts are based on the best available science; and builds relationships with Tribal Nation leadership.
The position, working remotely from a home office in California, reports to the CMLUS project director and works closely with project team members in the Pacific, Washington D.C. and in other project regions, as well as with staff from conservation science, communications, government relations, and other Pew departments.
