Ocean Associates Inc. (OAI) is seeking a Shellfish Researcher to provide support to the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Northwest Fisheries Science Center in Seattle, WA. OAI is a Virginia corporation established in 2003 that provides consulting and technical services to the U.S. government, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and the private sector. We specialize in scientific program and project management, strategic planning, professional and technical services, and stakeholder engagement, supporting government contracts.
Background
There has been considerable research regarding the ecosystem effects of shellfish farming in temperate waters of the Atlantic and Pacific coast in recent years. This research includes interactions with submerged aquatic vegetation, fish and invertebrates and effects on water quality. In Washington state, there are over 250 shellfish farms across over 700 sites, most of which are located in Puget Sound.
A priority in Puget Sound is the conservation of nearshore habitat, including wetlands, submerged aquatic vegetation, estuaries, and tidal zones that make up some of the most valuable habitat for the region’s salmon and steelhead and overlap in some places with shellfish farming. Unfortunately, much of nearshore habitat in Puget Sound is lost or degraded, with more than 90 percent of tidal wetlands lost to development. That leaves salmon without essential nursery habitat they need to feed and grow strong to boost their later survival in the open ocean. This is especially concerning for Puget Sound Chinook salmon, which is listed as threatened under the Endangered Species Act.
To help address this situation, NOAA Fisheries recently developed the Puget Sound Nearshore Habitat Conservation Calculator (Nearshore Calculator). The calculator can be used to determine how much restoration is needed to offset the impacts of nearshore development. The calculator determines changes in habitat value in a common currency that represents habitat impacts as debits, and habitat improvements as credits. Developers can then offset debits with an equivalent number of credits, avoiding further net loss of nearshore habitat. Credits may come from improvements undertaken as part of the same project or from improvements in other areas in the Puget Sound region.
NOAA Fisheries is in need of assistance to help consider additions to the Nearshore Calculator to account for ecosystem effects of shellfish aquaculture in Puget Sound, based on best available science.
Description
The employee will coordinate with the Northwest Fisheries Science Center and West Coast Region of Fisheries (Central Puget Sound Branch & Oregon/Washington Aquaculture Coordinator) to assist with the following key tasks:
Literature Review/Calculator learning: Compile and conduct an assessment of relevant literature to inform ecosystem effects of shellfish aquaculture. Assess relevance to shellfish aquaculture in the US portions of the Salish Sea including all five marine basins delineated as service areas for use with the Nearshore Calculator. Synthesize and communicate findings to scientific, management and industry audiences. Invest in in-depth learning of the nearshore calculator and Section 7(a)(2) of the Endangered Species Act, including how the calculator works, the underlying literature, data inputs, analytical approach and how it is applied to aquaculture projects. Deliverables are:Finalized list of literature and folders with PDF copies of each study. Summary files with annotations of key results and conclusions from each source. Tables, figures, presentation materials for presenting results to different audiences. Contribute to NWFSC teams that are working on related projects by participating in meetings, completing assignments, and contributing to products.
Gain Regional Expertise: When possible, conduct site visits to regional shellfish farms to gain an understanding of aquaculture practices. Take photos of gear and growing practices at each site, pending permission of the grower. When possible, join research teams in the field to promote awareness of ongoing research applications. Deliverables are:Library of photos taken at each site visit that document different types of shellfish growing practices and ongoing research.
Effects of Aquaculture: Using results from Task 1 and 2, evaluate how benefits/impacts from different aquaculture techniques affect Physical and Biological Features (PBFs) for salmon based on best available science. Evaluate if these benefits/impacts are generally included in the indicator effect pathways outlined in Ehinger et al 2023. Amend the indicator effect pathways description as appropriate for aquaculture. Detail if any relevant indicator effect pathways may not be included and how they could be added in an update. Deliverables are:List of benefits/impacts of shellfish aquaculture are generally included in the indicator effect pathway outline in Ehinger et al., 2023. Amend recommended indicator effect pathway description(s), as applicable. Recommend any relevant indicator effect pathways that may not be included, and how they could be added following the format and methodology in Ehingher et al. 2023.
Prototype Development: For aquaculture techniques for which the most relevant indicator effect pathways are considered in the Nearshore Calculator, evaluate if current tabs allow for appropriate quantification of impacts. For those applications, develop demonstration examples of how shellfish aquaculture activities that require federal permitting may be addressed by the Nearshore Calculator. Demonstration growing methods shall include shellfish on-bottom culture, flip bag culture, long-line culture, geoduck culture and co-culture with seaweed and infrastructure associated with shellfish culture, such as buoys, nearshore hardening/boat launches, etc. Deliverables are:For each demonstration example, develop a document that describes each proposed idea for integrating ecosystem effects into decision making tools. Provide supporting evidence (data, references) to justify each idea.
Draft Recommendations: Based on steps one through four, develop proposed additions/adjustments to the calculator for shellfish projects. Present draft recommendations for feedback from applicable Northwest Fisheries Science Center and West Coast Region of Fisheries staff. Deliverables are:Consult with NWFSC and WCR staff to solicit peer review of demonstration examples. Develop key questions for reviewers to address in the review process. Electronic copies of all peer review comments received.
Develop Guidance: Develop instructions to NOAA Fisheries Staff regarding how these adjustments to the calculator can be incorporated for use by NOAA staff, tribes, the public and other stakeholders. Deliverables are:Based on results of peer review, offer guidance on when and how to implement the recommended additions and adjustments. Guidance may be in one or more formats, including but not limited to in-person work sessions, webinars, small meetings, written documentation, etc.
Communication: Share results, conclusions, guidance with interested and relevant audiences, including relevant conferences and meetings. In collaboration with NOAA staff, provide an overview of findings for regional aquaculture and marine habitat teams, tribes, the public and other stakeholders. Develop a synthesis manuscript for publication in a peer reviewed journal that includes the literature review findings and relevant results regarding how this information might be used to inform management tools and calculators. Deliverables are:Communications products including but not limited to:Presentation files (PowerPoint, Google Slides, etc.) and presentations at relevant science and management meetings. Manuscript drafted for submission to peer reviewed journal that integrates literature review and application to management tools. Collaborative engagement with communications teams on webstory, newsletter and social media content, as applicable. Monthly progress report to include, but not necessarily be limited to, the following: accomplishments, issues encountered, travel (including purpose, significant outcomes, action items), and recommendations, if applicable.
Start Date: As soon as possible
Location: Northwest Fisheries Science Center Seattle, WA or the associated Manchester Research Station, Manchester, WA
Travel: Travel is anticipated to support field research, meet with collaborators, and present results at a regional workshop or scientific conference. Travel will be in WA, OR, CA, or ID.
Salary and Benefits: This is a full-time position with benefits. Salary, commensurate with experience, between $38.00 - $42.00 per hour.
Requirements

This research addresses and supports NOAA Fisheries and NWFSC research agendas, including: presidential executive order, EO#13921 Promoting American Seafood Competitiveness and Economic Growth; National Strategic Plan for Aquaculture Research’s Objective 3.1 to “Develop strategies to protect the health and well-being of aquaculture species”; and NWFSC’s 5–10 Year Strategic Plan for Aquaculture Science’s recommendation to support finfish aquaculture and bolster aquatic animal disease research and expertise.
The development of finfish aquaculture relies on the rearing of healthy fish. Disease occurs during commercial culture, wasting valuable time, resources, and products. Disease management issues will only increase as global temperatures and demand for aquaculture products increase. The EFS Division conducts research in the areas of aquatic animal health and disease in order to assess and minimize the impact of diseases on both important cultured and wild species. These areas of research are important to the Center’s research programs with finfish and shellfish aquaculture as well as characterizing disease interactions between and among both wild and cultured species. Disease of aquatic species can severely impact the health of both cultured and wild aquatic species at various life stages.
Description
Conduct both basic and applied research in the areas of aquatic animal health and disease in order to assess the impact of stressors and mitigating treatments on both cultured and wild aquatic species. These topics are important to the Center’s various aquaculture research involving finfish and shellfish, as well as to characterizing environmental interactions between, and among, wild and cultured aquatic species.

Ocean Associates Inc. is looking for a Stock Assessment Specialist to work with National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS) Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC). The Stock Assessment Specialist will work directly with staff in the NEFSC Population Dynamics Branch (PDB) on analyses of regional fishery stock assessments to produce estimates of stock status and reference points for a range of fish stocks. This work will support the Wind Development Impacts on Stock Assessments project.
NOAA Fisheries conducts stock assessments of economically important marine resources to provide scientific information for the regional fishery management councils and other management partners. The Population Dynamics Branch supports development of new tools and software for stock assessment in collaboration with regional stock assessment scientists and the national Assessment Methods Working Group (AMWG). Development of new tools and software at the national level advances NMFS’ stock assessment science, improves standardization and ensures that development is completed to high levels of testing and documentation. Additionally, this effort supports a defined process for evaluating and operationalizing the development of new regional tools for inclusion in the NOAA Fisheries Toolbox (NFT). Many existing tools used by NMFS have been created in-house with varying degrees of generality, accessibility, testing, documentation, and best practices.
Fish stock assessment models compute the historical levels of fish stock abundance and fishing mortality that are most consistent with observed trends in abundance data, the fish’s biology, and historical catch levels. Assessment models produce estimates of important fishery management factors and provide the technical basis for managers to determine stock status and set annual catch limits and other fishery management measures to maintain sustainable fishing and healthy ecosystems.
The long-term fishery-independent Bottom Trawl Survey (BTS) operated by the NEFSC is used in many stock assessments to inform assessment models of relative trends in fish populations. Rapid development of offshore wind capacity in the waters off the northeast coast of the United States will reduce access of the BTS to historic sampling sites. Indices developed from the BTS play an important role in stock assessments and changes to its operations will affect our interpretation of population trends. In an attempt to quantify the impact of excluded sampling sites on fishery-independent indices, the stock assessment specialist will work directly with lead stock assessment scientists to develop an analytical approach to compare stock status and reference points without the excluded sites. Focus will be on species that use index-based assessment approaches, including silver hake (Merluccius bilinearis). The Stock Assessment Specialist will take the lead with exploration of modified survey data for fish stocks assessed by the NEFSC and work with a team of Population Dynamics researchers with experience in this topic.
Duties
The tasks include but are not limited to these duties:
Explore the impact of restricted survey sampling locations on fishery-independent indices of abundance.
Perform index-based single-species stock assessments and calculate reference points under the guidance of the lead stock assessment scientists.
Conduct comparisons of stock status and reference points between assessment models using the existing and modified BTS indices.
Present findings at workshops or conferences.
Lead the publication of significant results in peer review journals.
Start Date: May 15, 2023 (flexible)
Location: Woods Hole, MA. The position may begin with a period of remote work, to accommodate pandemic restrictions.
Salary and Benefits: This is a full-time position with a comprehensive benefit package.Salary commensurate with experience and qualifications, $35 - $41 per hour.
Qualifications and Skills
The Stock Assessment Specialist must:
Possess a graduate degree in fisheries, quantitative ecology, or related field.
Possess experience in the R programming language.
Have familiarity with stock assessments or management of fish resources, including calculation of reference points.
Course work in Fisheries, Marine Biology, Mathematics or Statistics is desirable.
Possess the ability to handle multiple tasks and deadlines with flexibility between tasks.
Demonstrate excellent verbal and written communication skills.
Be capable of making presentations to various peer-review and management audiences.
Be capable of working as part of a team.
Be capable of working independently on analyses, and providing regular summaries and recommended next steps to the team based on results.
Only qualified applicants that meet minimum experience or background requirements stated above need apply. When applying for this position you will be asked to upload your resume at the end of this online application.
Applicants should submit a resume that includes the following:

Ocean Associates Inc. (OAI) is seeking a social scientist needed for survey of current social and economic conditions of commercial fishing crews and hired captains in the Northeastern U.S. This position will support the Social Sciences Branch of the NOAA Northeast Fisheries Science Center. OAI is a Virginia corporation established in 2003 that provides consulting and technical services to the U.S. government, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and the private sector. We specialize in scientific program and project management, strategic planning, professional and technical services and stakeholder engagement, supporting government contracts.
Description:
Crew are vital to the fishing industry and their social and economic circumstances are integral to the well-being of fishing communities. However, very little data on even basic demographic information on crew exists at the regional level for Northeastern U.S. fisheries. Fishing vessel crew and hired captains comprise a significant portion of fishing industry employment, yet very few studies have inquired about the social and demographic characteristics of the individuals who make up this segment of the industry. The majority of economic and social information collected has tended to focus on vessel owners.
The aim of this survey is to track the characteristics of crew and hired captains over time in order to capture trends in socio-demographics, employment, and fishing practices, among other factors. Data collected as part of this effort have been used to inform social impact assessments of past fisheries management actions and will continue to be an important component to the policymaking process. The results of this survey will not only help fisheries managers understand what is going on in crew members’ lives but also the impacts of management decisions on commercial crew.
The Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) Social Sciences Branch has need for social scientist support to conduct the Socio-Economic Survey of Hired Captains and Crew in New England and Mid-Atlantic Fisheries. The survey is the third wave of data collection following the baseline first wave conducted in 2012 and the second wave in 2018. Data to be collected include demographic information on crew, wage calculations systems, well-being, fishing practices, job satisfaction, job opportunities, and attitudes toward fisheries management.
General duties will include travel to select ports throughout New England and the Mid-Atlantic to conduct survey interviews, distributing outreach materials, literature reviews, drafting technical memoranda and peer-reviewed manuscripts, and attending meetings and workshops on an as needed basis. Specific tasks to be performed are the following:
Tasks:
Conduct survey interviews with commercial fishing vessel crews and hired captains at selected ports throughout the New England and Mid-Atlantic states.
Conduct data entry, data management, and quality control of survey interview data using statistical and database management software.
Assist in data analysis and reporting of results, including the preparation of a technical memorandum, conference presentations, and peer-reviewed journal manuscripts.
Start Date: April 1, 2023. Total of 5 months with the possibility of renewal.
Location: On-site location in Woods Hole, MA, or remote work in New England or the Mid-Atlantic.
Travel: Travel is required. Travel to selected ports to conduct survey interviews will be necessary. Ports selected will be throughout the New England and Mid-Atlantic states. There may also be travel to conferences or fisheries management meetings to conduct outreach and present results.
Salary and Benefits: This is a full-time position lasting 5 months with the possibility of renewal. Overtime is not anticipated. Salary is commensurate with experience. Comprehensive benefits package.
Required Skills/Qualifications:
Advanced degree in a social science field including, but not limited to, anthropology, sociology, economics, human geography or statistics.
Training or experience in statistics for the social sciences.
Knowledge and experience with statistical software such as R, SAS, STATA, SPSS, MaxQDA, and others.
Proficiency in written and oral communication.
Ability to work independently and with a multidisciplinary team.
Ability to work effectively both individually and collaboratively in a team/group setting.
Ability to receive constructive feedback and implement appropriate action.
Desired Skills/Qualifications:
Experience or training in GIS and/or geo-spatial analysis.
Experience or training in fisheries, marine or natural resource management.
Interest in the socioeconomic conditions and well-being of fishing and coastal communities dependent on marine resources.
Only qualified applicants that meet minimum experience or background requirements stated above need apply. When applying for this position you will be asked to upload your resume at the end of this online application.
Applicants should submit a resume that includes the following:
Work history for past 5 years or since last full-time education.
Education.
Previous experience or training with similar requirements.
Three professional references.
Include your name in the document file name.
Upload your resume in readable, not scanned, PDF or Word format (PDF is preferred).

Kendall Fellowship: Science for Environmental Justice Center for Science and Democracy Union of Concerned Scientists Location: Flexible, within the US
The Position
The Center for Science and Democracy (CSD) at the Union of Concerned Scientists (UCS), the leading science-based organization at the center of today’s most exciting and important policy debates, seeks outstanding candidates for the Science for Environmental Justice Kendall Fellowship. This up to two-year fellowship is open to candidates who will have completed their Ph.D. by December 2021.
You will develop approaches to the analysis of equity and justice implications in federal regulatory actions. This work will be part of our Science for Environmental Justice campaign. A critical part of the research we envision is the applications of methods for bringing the experiences and views of impacted, overburdened low-income, Black, Indigenous and communities of color into the analysis of public health, safety, and environmental threats and the expected impacts of regulatory measures in addressing longstanding justice and equity challenges.
The Union of Concerned Scientists is an independent national nonprofit whose scientists and engineers work to solve some of our planet’s most pressing environmental and safety problems. UCS combines technical analysis and effective organizing and advocacy to create innovative, practical solutions for stemming the tide of global warming, sustainable food policy and agriculture, clean energy and transportation, and reducing the threat of catastrophic nuclear war.
The Center for Science and Democracy, UCS’s newest program, will host this Kendall Fellow. The Center works across issues to strengthen the role of independent science in democratic dialogue and public policy by improving the process of bringing science into policy-making, pushing back on misinformation efforts and attacks on scientists, and increasing public access to scientific information.
Responsibilities
The Kendall Fellow will work with UCS staff to develop a proposal for a two-year project to bring the voices, lived experience, and perspectives of people and communities most impacted but often excluded from the regulatory process. The proposed research should: 1) analyze the processes that need to be changed and updated; 2) develop recommendations for needed changes, in partnership with grassroots organizations fighting for environmental justice, and 3) help our advocacy campaign for science-based regulatory decision-making that is just and equitable. Three possible topics of this research, depending upon applicant interest, that may shape the research proposal, are:
Agency engagement with the public and incorporation of public input in decision-making: How is community input being brought into regulatory science, what are the barriers to engagement, and what are the levers for improving those opportunities? What processes exist for utilizing community input as agencies develop health and safety protections? What are some successful models for incorporating environmental justice concerns into rulemaking processes? How do agencies measure the impacts of rules on communities? How well are agencies incorporating community science into decision-making processes?
Scientific analysis with an equity and justice framework: Are agencies considering science in regulatory actions that adequately address environmental justice concerns including cumulative impacts of exposure to multiple pollutants? How are agencies incorporating lived experience as data? What gaps exist in environmental hazard monitoring and data collection generally and how does that limit agency’s regulatory responsiveness to communities?
Data accessibility: How can federal agencies improve access to data and information to support communities’ right to know and ability to advocate for evidence-based solutions?
The detailed products of the fellowship will be defined during the development of the proposal but could include analytical, educational, and advocacy products; peer-reviewed publications; partnership development with grassroots organizations; and policy recommendations.
Qualifications and experience
The fellow should possess significant knowledge of environmental justice issues, regulatory science assessments, and mixed-method research. The fellow should be able to demonstrate research experience that can be applied to the stated goals of the fellowship, specifically on the challenge of environmental justice. In addition, strong written and verbal skills are required and the ability to work in both Spanish and English is preferred. At a minimum, a Ph.D. in a relevant field must be completed before December 31, 2022
The fellow may spend extended periods at the computer. Occasional travel may be required (several overnight trips per year).
UCS is an equal opportunity employer continually seeking to diversify its staff. In particular, we’re dedicated to broadening opportunities for individuals from demographic groups that are historically underrepresented in the sciences and in environmental advocacy. We’re also committed to building an inclusive workplace culture where talented people of widely diverse backgrounds can thrive. We've adopted this commitment because we believe the inclusion of culturally diverse perspectives will improve our work and produce better societal and environmental outcomes for all, including historically disenfranchised communities. We are actively seeking people who bring diverse backgrounds and perspectives to join us in this work.
About the Kendall Science Fellows Program

Kendall was known for his unique ability to shake up the status quo and catalyze new thinking, and UCS looks to Kendall Fellows to do the same. Priority is given to innovative and forward-looking proposals that are primarily scientific, technical, or analytic in nature but also show interest in the application of science to policy. Fellows will benefit from the opportunity to learn from the UCS approach to science and policy, and UCS will benefit from the new approaches and expertise of the Kendall Fellows.
More about the team:
Our team is made up of a dedicated group of researchers, scientists, communicators, campaigners, and advocates from wide-ranging backgrounds and experiences. We are committed to building a diverse and inclusive team and a collaborative and supportive work environment where all staff can thrive. We continually strive to create an environment that is a welcoming place for the LGBTQ+ community, people of color, parents, empty-nesters, and people with a wide variety of interests and backgrounds.
Benefits
A note on the pandemic: During the coronavirus pandemic our staff is working from home. We will resume working from our offices, travel, and in-person meetings when it is safe to do so.
Compensation, Hours, and Location: This is a full-time, up to the two-year position. Ability to work at least partially in one of UCS’s offices preferred, but open to discussion. Fellowship will begin in fall 2022. Kendall Fellowship salaries follow a special structure and are fixed at $72,000 for candidates with less than 3 years relevant post-Ph.D. experience and $82,000 for those with 3-8 years of post-Ph.D. experience. UCS offers excellent benefits and a rewarding work environment. Information about UCS is available at www.ucsusa.org
