POSITION: Editor for new global newsletter on Ecosystem-Based Management
EMPLOYER: Marine Affairs Research and Education
LOCATION: Seattle, Washington, USA
APPLICATION DEADLINE: Wednesday, June 27, 2007
DESCRIPTION: Marine Affairs Research and Education (MARE) is a unique
nonprofit organization dedicated to serving marine resource managers
worldwide with programs to help them network with peers and share best
practices. MARE seeks an editor for a new global newsletter on coastal and
marine ecosystem-based management (EBM). The newsletter is designed to be
the pre-eminent source of news, analysis, and advice on implementation of
coastal/marine EBM.
This is not an advocacy position. The newsletter, produced by MARE in
association with the University of Washington School of Marine Affairs,
will take an objective view on EBM implementation, aiming to serve the
broad international coastal/marine EBM community of resource managers and
stakeholders (e.g., government agencies, NGOs, fishing industry, oil/gas
sector, academia, and others). This is a unique opportunity for a talented
individual to help guide global implementation of EBM.
The EBM newsletter will be a sister publication to MPA News, MARE's global
newsletter on planning and management of marine protected areas (MPAs).
MPA News has subscribers in more than 110 countries and is the leading
forum worldwide on MPA practice.
RESPONSIBILITIES:
* Manage all production aspects of a quarterly newsletter, including
research, interviews, writing, layout, printing, and distribution of paper

* Capture and report on developments in the EBM field, including news on
trends and advances; leading and noteworthy initiatives; best practices;
scientific and policy developments; principles; and emerging conceptions on
the relationship between EBM and other ocean management tools.
* Advance EBM through promotion of information exchange, including
conducting interviews with leading EBM practitioners, policy makers, and
researchers; soliciting essays and editorials by experts; and conducting
polls of readers.
* Solicit ideas from the newsletter's editorial board on potential news
items, and feedback from the editorial board on quality of
coverage/reportage and opportunities for improvement.
QUALIFICATIONS:
* Exceptional and proven skills in writing and news-gathering
* Strong familiarity with issue of coastal/marine EBM, including
terminology, principles, and techniques
* Experience in meeting regular deadlines
* Familiarity with HTML and Adobe InDesign
* Foreign-language competency preferred (French and/or Spanish)
SALARY: US$45K-$60K with excellent benefits. Position has funding for two
years, with strong possibility of longer employment.

published writing (news reportage preferred) to:
