Key Responsibilities:

  • Attend regular Hatchery Technical Team (HCT) and Advisory Team (TAC) meetings with co-managers to incorporate recommendations in developing/revising/editing planning documents for Salmonid hatchery programs.
  • Assist with the drafting/revising of HGMPs and FMPs documents, and to perform technical editing, update and revisions of existing documents to ensure they are well-written and legally defensible.
  • Work with NMFS and co-managers in drafting/modifying of HGMP/FMP chapters utilizing the NMFS template for HGMPs/FMPs describing the program objectives, operations, purpose, and effects, performance standards and indicators, broodstock origin, identity, collection and mating protocols, incubation, rearing and release mechanisms and monitoring/research.
  • Under the guidance of HCTs and TACs, independently write and edit ESA HGMP and FMP documents for California Coastal Office (CCO) area hatchery programs and associated fisheries.
  • Review and edit draft ESA HGMP and FMP documents to create clarity and logical flow of analysis, and incorporate model write-ups and alternatives into Appendices.
  • Address and incorporate comments from NMFS, HCTs, States, Tribes, responsible agencies and the general public to complete final versions of the documents.
  • Revise HGMPs to develop and draft alternatives and recommendations to resolve specific fishery/hatchery management issues, research and recommend solutions to address invasive/nuisance species treatment/exclusion plans, and recommend revision to operations (e.g. release/collection protocols) to improve progress towards performance standards, and adaptively manage operations based on monitoring results in accordance with Co-manager and NMFS and WCR policies, procedures, and priorities.
  • Review reports, draft comments, and write technically and legally-sound ESA and NEPA documents that meet the standards of scientific journals, NMFS and DOC policies, and government plain language requirements.
  • Coordinate with applicants and internal and external experts to develop strategies to effectively minimize impacts and resolve regulatory and ecological issues with applicants.

Deliverables:

  • Prepare/revise draft Hatchery Genetic Management Plans (HGMPs), and Fishery Management Plans (FMPs) using NMFS Template documents each quarter based on co-manager and technical team input.
  • Prepare or revise up to four draft HGMPs/FMPs for co-manager review and approval, in preparation for co-manager final document submittal to NMFS.
  • No later than 14 days following completion of a NEPA or ESA assessment, compile, organize and provide all electronic and hardcopy records to the Project Officer that comprise the official record in accordance with the relevant laws and NMFS policies.

Requirements:

  • At a minimum, the contractor shall have a Bachelor's degree in a related field (e.g. fisheries, oceanography), plus four (4) years of relevant experience or Master's degree in related field of Ph.D.
  • Experience in policy and analysis related to fisheries or other renewable natural resources.
  • Ability to articulate both in the written word and orally biological and policy information to technical audiences.
  • Ability to work independently, and be solution-oriented and a self-starter.
  • Knowledge of salmon and steelhead hatchery and harvest fishery programs, their objectives, and their effects on natural-origin fish populations.
  • Experience working with the National Environmental Policy Act.
