Fisheries Conservation Manager

The Environmental Defense Fund (EDF) is currently seeking a Fisheries Conservation Manager to lead the organization’s fishery advocacy work in the Gulf of Mexico. We thought this position might be of interest to you or the people in your professional network.

EDF’s Fisheries Conservation Program works at the forefront with the fishing industry and high-level decision makers to implement innovative, forward-thinking fishery management practices in the U.S. The Fisheries Conservation Manager will help to oversee and coordinate EDF’s projects in the Gulf region, including meeting and communicating with federal and state officials, fishery managers and scientists, fishery council members and other elected officials to coordinate the implementation of commercial and recreational catch shares in the Southeast. This is an excellent opportunity for someone with advocacy experience and/or a strong understanding of policy making processes to engage in a high-impact effort to transform fishery management practices in the Gulf. The position is located in EDF’s Austin office.
