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.

Full time
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

Washington State Department of Health
Tumwater, WA
This is a full-time, homebased, project Health Services Consultant 3 (HSC3) position located within the Office of Public Affairs and Equity. This project position is currently funded through June 30, 2023.
This Care-a-Van Community Coordinator (HSC 3) position will focus primarily on supporting the Department of Health’s Response to the COVID-19 outbreak. This position will be part of the Community Engagement Task Force (CETF), which is a specific response function that is led by the Office of Public Affairs & Equity (OPAE) Community Relations & Equity (CRE) Team.
Reporting to the Mobile Health Program Manager, the Care-a-Van Community Coordinator ensures that communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and other health issues have access to the same critical health and safety information and services as the rest of the general public through our Care-a-Van Mobile Health Program. Based on available clinical data from this rapidly evolving pandemic and existing socio-demographic context, it is expected that COVID-19 will disproportionately affect individuals at higher risk because of:
The virus’ health impact —older adults, people with underlying medical conditions, and pregnant people.
Current and persistent systemic inequities—communities who have historically and currently experienced barriers to accessing critical health information and services due to race/ethnicity, language, culture, nationality, immigration status, or disability status.
Increased risk of exposure, negative economic impact, or other unintended consequences of the response due to employment situation, which can include certain types of work where social distancing is not feasible, there is a limited availability of personal protective equipment, exposure risk is high, and employer policies do not support time off.
Increased risk of exposure or unintended consequences of the response due to housing and family situation, which can include individuals experiencing homelessness, individuals living in shared or transitional housing, and domestic violence survivors.
Increased risk of unintended health consequences of the response’s efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, due to stress on the healthcare system, closures, travel bans, social distancing, isolation, and quarantine. People who may experience unintended health consequences include, but are not limited to, pregnant people and new moms—especially Native American and Black women; people with unrelated acute, severe, or chronic health conditions; and individuals with disabilities.
The Care-a-Van Community Coordinator will support the Mobile Health Program team’s goals and objectives and will work alongside the COVID-19 Vaccine Program. Key responsibilities and competencies will include supporting comprehensive program development, implementation, and evaluation; project coordination; local health coordination and partnership; and community partner support. This position will be responsible for supporting the coordination of incoming Care-a-Van requests with Local Health Jurisdiction partners and other mobile health resources, develop reports and outreach plans. The Care-a-Van Community Coordinator will partner closely with the other members of the COVID-19 Vaccine Program, Community Relations & Equity team, other teams within the Office of Public Affairs and Equity (OPAE), Office of Immunization, Office of Resiliency and Health Security, and other Department of Health (DOH) programs.
Please note, while this position is primarily homebased, some travel is required, typically local or regional to meet with clients, conduct business, or attend/provide training.
Currently, this position may be located anywhere within the State of Washington. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, telework (mobile-work) is expected.

Full time
This is a full-time, homebased, project Health Services Consultant 3 (HSC3) position located within the Office of Public Affairs and Equity. This project position is currently funded through June 30, 2023.
This Care-a-Van Community Coordinator (HSC 3) position will focus primarily on supporting the Department of Health’s Response to the COVID-19 outbreak. This position will be part of the Community Engagement Task Force (CETF), which is a specific response function that is led by the Office of Public Affairs & Equity (OPAE) Community Relations & Equity (CRE) Team.
Reporting to the Mobile Health Program Manager, the Care-a-Van Community Coordinator ensures that communities disproportionately impacted by COVID-19 and other health issues have access to the same critical health and safety information and services as the rest of the general public through our Care-a-Van Mobile Health Program. Based on available clinical data from this rapidly evolving pandemic and existing socio-demographic context, it is expected that COVID-19 will disproportionately affect individuals at higher risk because of:
The virus’ health impact —older adults, people with underlying medical conditions, and pregnant people.
Current and persistent systemic inequities—communities who have historically and currently experienced barriers to accessing critical health information and services due to race/ethnicity, language, culture, nationality, immigration status, or disability status.
Increased risk of exposure, negative economic impact, or other unintended consequences of the response due to employment situation, which can include certain types of work where social distancing is not feasible, there is a limited availability of personal protective equipment, exposure risk is high, and employer policies do not support time off.
Increased risk of exposure or unintended consequences of the response due to housing and family situation, which can include individuals experiencing homelessness, individuals living in shared or transitional housing, and domestic violence survivors.
Increased risk of unintended health consequences of the response’s efforts to prevent the spread of COVID-19, due to stress on the healthcare system, closures, travel bans, social distancing, isolation, and quarantine. People who may experience unintended health consequences include, but are not limited to, pregnant people and new moms—especially Native American and Black women; people with unrelated acute, severe, or chronic health conditions; and individuals with disabilities.
The Care-a-Van Community Coordinator will support the Mobile Health Program team’s goals and objectives and will work alongside the COVID-19 Vaccine Program. Key responsibilities and competencies will include supporting comprehensive program development, implementation, and evaluation; project coordination; local health coordination and partnership; and community partner support. This position will be responsible for supporting the coordination of incoming Care-a-Van requests with Local Health Jurisdiction partners and other mobile health resources, develop reports and outreach plans. The Care-a-Van Community Coordinator will partner closely with the other members of the COVID-19 Vaccine Program, Community Relations & Equity team, other teams within the Office of Public Affairs and Equity (OPAE), Office of Immunization, Office of Resiliency and Health Security, and other Department of Health (DOH) programs.
Please note, while this position is primarily homebased, some travel is required, typically local or regional to meet with clients, conduct business, or attend/provide training.
Currently, this position may be located anywhere within the State of Washington. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, telework (mobile-work) is expected. When approved to return, the incumbent will work with their supervisor to identify an appropriate work schedule and balance, including telework and reporting t o th e Tumwater duty station for work activities.
