The Nature Conservancy
JOB DESCRIPTION
TITLE: Live Reef Fish Trade Coordinator
SUPERVISOR: Director, Coastal/Marine Program
LOCATION: Greater China
DATE: June, 2000
SUMMARY OF POSITION:
The Nature Conservancy's Asia/Pacific Coastal/Marine Program is working to
develop and refine its live reef fish trade strategy to help minimize the
trade's destructive impact on marine biodiversity in Indonesia and the
Pacific. Recognizing the unsustainable nature of the live reef fish trade
and its immense threats to marine biodiversity, the Conservancy is working
to catalyze a trend that will convert the trade's dependence on wild caught
groupers to the use of groupers raised in hatcheries. The Conservancy
believes that this market transformation can be achieved through the
mariculture of target species in the supply (or exporting) countries such as
Indonesia and in mainland China. Sustainable mariculture will help abate
the damaging effects of destructive fishing methods on coral reefs, while
relieving fishing pressure on the breeding populations of targeted species.
Leading this effort will be a Live Reef Fish Trade Coordinator. S/he will
build and maintain partnerships within the wide range of business,
government, NGO, and intergovernmental parties involved in the trade. The
Coordinator will also be responsible for hiring and managing consultants;
promoting critical policy changes; implementing the demand component of the
Conservancy's live reef fish trade strategy and ensuring integration with
supply side country activities; and, helping secure additional financial
support (funds and in-kind) to execute the strategy. S/he will report to
the Director of the Coastal/Marine Program.
DUTIES:
1. Initiate and strengthen collaboration among regional partners to develop
and implement a coordinated strategy for exporting countries and in Greater
China to support a sustainable live reef fish trade.
2. Recruit, hire and manage two consultants, an International Trade
Specialist and a Mariculture Specialist, and work with them to develop a
coordinated approach to address the demand side of the industry.
3. Together with the International Marinelife Alliance (IMA), TRAFFIC, Hong
Kong Chamber of Seafood Merchants, other individuals and agencies, and the
International Trade Specialist, develop and implement a system to monitor
market trends for the live reef fish trade and disseminate the information
internationally as appropriate for active management of the trade.
4. Work with partners to determine the price-demand relationship in the live
reef fish trade and explore the possibility of manipulating the price
structure to regulate the trade.
5. Determine the best roles of demand markets (Taiwan, Hong Kong, and
mainland China in particular) in assisting the Conservancy to achieve its
objectives in mariculture development. Work with the Greater China Team,
the Mariculture Specialist and other key players to develop and implement
sustainable strategies. Such key players include the Taiwan Fish Breeding
Association, Taiwan's Overseas Fisheries Development Council, the Hong Kong
Government's Agriculture and Fisheries Department, seafood restaurant
associations, and the Hong Kong Chamber of Seafood Merchants, as well as
other major players in mariculture technologies (e.g., Queensland Department
of Primary Industries, Gondol Fisheries Research Institute, etc.).
6. Frequently assess and evaluate the Conservancy's collaborative,
multi-partner, Integrated Live Reef Fish Trade strategy, update as necessary
and develop an implementation plan for the Conservancy's component,
including helping to secure resources.
7. Engage APEC and other government partners in promoting regional policies
and regulations, a certification system, and enforcement programs to support
sustainable practices.
8. Identify and encourage private and public investors in mariculture in
Indonesia and mainland China. Work with Conservancy staff to catalyze
financial investments in mariculture linked to the conservation of marine
biodiversity, such as through a Biodiversity Enterprise Fund.
9. Prepare reports and presentations and attend meetings as may be required
by the Director, Coastal Marine Program and the Director, Greater China Program.
REQUIREMENTS:
1. Excellent business background with experience in the development and
implementation of marketing programs.
2. Strong experience in macroeconomics and/or international trade policies.
3. Strong working experience in Greater China (especially Taiwan and Hong Kong).
4. Experience working with government agencies and international policy
organizations; good lobbying skills.
5. Fishery or environmental conservation experience preferred but not required.
6. Excellent communications and writing skills.
7. Fluency in spoken English and Chinese (Mandarin required; Cantonese
preferred but not required).

WORLD CORAL REEFS IN THE NEW MILLENNIUM
With support from the David and Lucile Packard Foundation, SeaWeb and
the International Coral Reef Symposium (ICRS) are offering a scholarship
to 6 journalists / science writers from North America, Asia, Australia
and Europe to attend the 9th International Coral Reef Symposium in Bali,
Indonesia from October 22nd to 27th 2000. This world summit on coral
reef science and issues, held once every four years, serves as the
primary focal point for the analysis and official release of information
on the status of coral reefs throughout the world. It attracts over
1500 international participants including scientists, policy makers,
resource managers, and conservationists. The theme for this year's
meeting is "World Coral Reefs in the New Millennium: Bridging Research
and Management for Sustainable Development."
The first meeting of the 21st century is a critical event as coral reefs
around the world face new and unchronicled threats as never before.
Impacts due to global warming, land-based pollution, and destructive
fishing practices including reef bombing and poisoning are destroying
reefs at unprecedented rates. New information on threats to coral reefs
such as bleaching and mass mortality will be released.
As the world population passes the 6 billion mark, coastal communities
increasingly rely on the productivity of reefs as sources of food fish.

CONSULTING OPPORTUNITY
Project Titles
Study of the implications for domestic legislation of the Law of the Sea
Convention and the United Nations Implementing Agreement - Vanuatu
Position
Law of the Sea Consultant(s)
Implementing/Contracting Agency
South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency (FFA), Honiara, Solomon Islands. The
Consultant will report to FFA's Legal Projects Officer.
Canadian Coordinating and Facilitating Agency
This project is part of the Canada-South Pacific Ocean Development Program,
Phase 2 (C-SPODP II), a 7-year, $14 million program funded by the Canadian
International Development Agency. The Canadian Coordinating and
Facilitating Agency for C-SPODP II is LGL Limited, environmental research
associates. LGL is responsible for the recruitment of Canadian consultants
for C-SPODP II projects, which are being implemented by the South Pacific
Forum Secretariat, South Pacific Forum Fisheries Agency, South Pacific
Regional Environment Programme, and University of the South Pacific. LGL
will screen proposals that are received before the deadline and submit at
least three of the best to the implementing agency, where the consultant
will be selected.
Project Background
The United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea was signed by 119 states
in Montego Bay, Jamaica, on 10 December 1982. As at 11 November 1999, a
total of 132 states have ratified the Convention. Guyana deposited the 60th
instrument of ratification on 16 November 1993 which activated the period
for entry into force of the Convention. The Convention entered into force on
16 November 1994, 12 months after the deposit of Guyana's instrument.
Vanuatu ratified the Convention on 5 October 1999.
The Agreement for the Implementation of the provisions of the United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10 December 1982 relating to the
Conservation and Management of the Straddling Fish Stocks and Highly
Migratory Fish Stocks was opened for signature on 4 December 1995 in New
York, USA. As at April 2000, there have been 59 signatories and 26
ratification's. Vanuatu ratified the Convention on 5 October 1999.
Despite the failure to achieve consensus on the whole Convention, the
fishery provisions remained largely unchanged since the time of the First
Informal Single Negotiating Text in 1975. Central to these provisions is the
concept of coastal state jurisdiction over all the natural resources whether
living or non-living within the exclusive economic zone extending beyond the
territorial sea up to a distance of 200 nautical miles and the related
responsibilities of the coastal state for fisheries management within that
zone. Since the adoption of the Convention and entry into force, a large
number of these coastal states have declared EEZs of up to 200 nautical
miles in their national legislation.
For the island states of the South Pacific region, the impact of the
extension of jurisdiction has been particularly beneficial from the
perspective of marine resources that have come under their national
jurisdiction. However, the extension of jurisdiction has naturally
introduced new responsibilities and obligations in fisheries conservation,
management and control over the foreign fishing operations of distant water
fishing nations in their zones. In an effort to tackle these duties, many of
the countries of the South Pacific have, over the past ten years,
endeavoured to introduce new fisheries legislation..
In FFA's Corporate Plan of 1998 - 2000, the following is one of the
objectives of the Legal Services Division -
"To enhance the ability of member countries to manage their living marine
resources in accordance with the framework of the 1982 United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC)".
In achieving this objective, the following strategies are, inter alia, to be
utilised: -
1. Advise and assist member governments in the periodic review of their
national fisheries and maritime legislation with a view to their greater
harmonisation;
2. Provide advice to member countries on legal, policy and management issues
arising from the exploitation of the fisheries resources of the region; and
3. Co-ordination of regional initiatives in the development of the Law of
the Sea using legal consultations, workshops, seminars, fellowships and
other training opportunities.
This project falls squarely within FFA's Work Programme and the provision of
assistance to the Government of Vanuatu is therefore suitably justified.
The LOSC contains comprehensive provisions relating to pollution of the
marine environment, the development and transfer of marine technology,
marine scientific research and the law relating to uses of the seabed and
mineral deposits. FFA is not equipped to deal fully with these issues and,
therefore, it is expected that there will be close co-operation in the
implementation of Phases 1, 2, 3 and 4 of the project with other regional
organisations active in these areas such as SOPAC, SPREP, and SPC.
Services Required
The purpose of this project is to implement a request by the Government of
Vanuatu for legal assistance in the review of their domestic legislation for
implementation of the relevant provisions of the 1982 United Nations
Convention on the Law of the Sea (LOSC) and the incorporation of the
provisions of the United Nations Agreement for the Implementation of the
provisions of the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea of 10
December 1982 relating to the Conservation and Management of Straddling Fish
Stocks and Highly Migratory Fish Stocks (UNIA) into domestic legislation.
The request falls within the objectives of FFA's Legal Services Programme as
set out in the FFA Corporate Plan 1998 - 2000 and within the approved work
programme.
In order to ensure that the outcome of this project meets the requirements
of the Government of Vanuatu and to ensure full participation and
consultation by legal officials in-country, it is proposed that this project
will be implemented by FFA in consultation with an officer of the Government
of Vanuatu. It is proposed that the project be implemented in 4 distinct
phases: -
Phase 1: Identify those parts of LOSC and UNIA which have particular
relevance to the circumstances of Vanuatu and assess the implications of
LOSC and UNIA for domestic law and policy, with particular reference to
marine fisheries;
Phase 2: Based on the outcomes of Phase 1, review all relevant existing
Vanuatu legislation with a view to identifying inconsistencies and omissions
with respect to LOSC and UNIA. Where appropriate, recommend modifications,
consistent with emerging regional and international standards;
Phase 3: Describe measures which would need to be taken consistent with
their duties and obligations under both UN agreements, including identifying
legislative provisions not now in place;
Phase 4: Prepare a final report for the Government of Vanuatu.
Phases 1, 2 and 3 will be implemented by consultants. In Phase 4, the
output from Phases 1, 2, and 3 will be collated into a final report by FFA's
Legal Service Division working in consultation with the appropriate officer
of the Government of Vanuatu. The final report will pay particular
attention to identifying the key recommendations from Phases 1, 2 and 3.
