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).

Scholarship for Science Writers/Journalists to Attend

The Ninth International Coral Reef Symposium:
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.
Coral reefs are an economic foundation for tourism and are becoming
increasingly important as a source of pharmaceuticals. Indonesia's reefs
are the most diverse and rich in the world and are also under some of
the most intense pressures.
The scholarships will cover reasonable travel and expenses. The writers
will meet the experts who will generate news about coral reefs in the
coming year. SeaWeb will organize media tours to the threatened coral
reefs.
Journalists will be selected to represent North America, Asia,
