Internship Opportunity:
Land Use Planning and Zoning: Lessons for the Ocean
Description of Work:
The Marine Conservation Initiative works to achieve resilient and productive marine ecosystems in the California Current, New England, and British Columbia through two primary strategies: Implementing Area-Based Management (ABM) with ecosystem considerations (ocean zoning/marine spatial planning) and Reforming Fisheries Management. This internship would directly inform the Initiative’s work on ABM. While there are some examples abroad, only interim progress has been made in implementing comprehensive, multiple-use ABM plans in North America. Therefore, the effectiveness of ABM plans in protecting valuable ecosystem services while also achieving economic and social goals remains to be proven. However, there is a rich history of terrestrial planning and zoning from which we can draw important lessons for the ocean. The intern is tasked to research and explore lessons learned from terrestrial zoning, such as the history and objectives of land use planning, the success of protecting ecosystem services through planning and zoning, factors influencing effectiveness (including adaptability over time), and the use of these strategies to effectively deal with public or common-pool resources. In addition, the intern may explore the characteristics of the ocean environment (physical, biological, and political) that would influence the type of planning and zoning implemented in this environment. The intern may use case studies, interviews, and site visits to inform the research. The Initiative will use the results of this research in implementing the ABM portfolio to help ensure that its work will result in resilient and productive marine ecosystems.
Preferred Qualifications/Skill Set:
-Graduate student in a relevant field (Planning, Environmental Management, etc.) preferred
-Strong interest and knowledge of land use planning
-Keen interest in developing innovative solutions to marine conservation issues
-Strong writing, oral communication, and research skills
-Ability to deduce conclusions and recommendations from complex information
-Experience working on conservation issues
-Ability to learn about and effectively communicate the Marine Conservation Initiative’s strategies to external audiences
This position is a non-exempt salaried position.
No housing subsidy or stipend provided

Internship:
Sustainable Finance for Marine Conservation Solutions
Description of Work:
The Marine Conservation Initiative works to achieve resilient and productive marine ecosystems through two primary strategies: Implementing Area-Based Management (a.k.a. ocean zoning/marine spatial planning) and Reforming Fisheries Management. The intern is tasked to research and explore a variety of methods and tools that could be employed by the Marine Conservation Initiative’s grantees to align economic incentives with resource conservation and promote long-term financial sustainability. The Initiative believes there are untapped opportunities to create incentive structures that promote sustainable fishing and sound marine management in the United States and Canada. The intern is tasked to research and distill emerging financial mechanisms for resource conservation for application within the Initiative, and he or she may use case studies, interviews, and site visits to inform the research. Research areas may include: catch-share programs, bycatch quotas, futures markets for fisheries, ecosystem service valuation, low-interest loan programs, and cost-recovery mechanisms
Preferred Qualifications/Skill Set:
-M.B.A. student or economics graduate student preferred
-Strong writing, oral communication, and research skills
-Ability to deduce conclusions and recommendations from complex information
-Strong interest and knowledge of resource economics
-Keen interest in developing innovative solutions to marine conservation issues
-Experience working on conservation issues
-Ability to learn about and effectively communicate the Marine Conservation Initiative’s strategies to external audiences
