Nature Conservancy Announces Marine Fellowship Program
Nature Conservancy Announces Marine Fellowship Program
HONOLULU, HAWAI'I — The Nature Conservancy is launching a two-year Marine Conservation Fellowship Program to train recent college graduates to become the next generation of marine conservation leaders in Hawai‘i.
Modeled after the Conservancy’s successful Natural Resource Managers Fellowship Program, its marine counterpart will provide training in all aspects of marine resource planning, management and monitoring. Trainers will include senior Conservancy staff, marine resource experts, kupuna and other Hawai‘i conservation leaders.

“Hawaii’s near shore fisheries have declined by 75% over the past century. If we are going to reverse this trend, we need a lot more people working in Hawai‘i to protect, restore and manage our coral reefs,” said Kim Hum, director of marine programs for Conservancy’s Hawai‘i program. “At the end of two years, fellows will have the necessary skills and knowledge to become successful marine resource managers in Hawai‘i. They will be highly competitive in Hawaii’s conservation job market for positions not just at the Conservancy, but at state and federal partner agencies, and other private sector marine-based programs.”
According to Hum, the fellowship program is designed to increase the state’s pool of qualified marine resource managers. “It’s difficult to find qualified candidates to fill mid-level resource manager positions,” she said. “These are the people who work directly with local communities to manage local marine resources, and they are key to restoring our reefs and near shore fisheries.”
The two-year program is designed for four fellows: two will be hired in the first year and two more in the second year, with a one-year overlap. The fellows hired in the first year will help train those hired in the second year. Fellows will be based in the Conservancy’s program offices on O‘ahu, Maui and Hawai‘i Island, and play an integral role in the Conservancy’s marine conservation efforts, working on community-based projects with senior staff, as well as staff from partner agencies.
Manuel Mejia, the Conservancy’s community-based marine program manager, is coordinating the fellowship program. Before joining the Conservancy in 2006, Mejia worked with the Locally-Managed Marine Area Network, coordinating a network of 244 member sites from seven Asia-Pacific countries. In the Philippines, he managed a UNESCO World Heritage Site at Tubbataha National Marine Park for the World Wildlife Fund. He has also worked for USAID evaluating the effectiveness of community- and nature-based enterprises in Indonesia, the Solomon Islands and Fiji.
TNC marine staff (from left) Manuel Mejia, Zachary Caldwell and Eric Co © Rob Shallenberger/TNCAccording to Mejia, by the end of the training program the fellows will:
1) be able to identify Hawaiian species of fish, coral and limu;
2) understand human impacts on marine ecosystems;
3) be familiar with traditional Hawaiian practices and values that support environmental stewardship;
4) be able to identify the major threats to sustainable marine resource use and management;
5) be proficient in marine biological survey methods, data management and analysis of coastal ecosystem health;
6) be familiar with Hawaii’s regulatory framework and policies for marine resource management;
7) have experience in organizing and managing community-based conservation efforts, including project and volunteer management;
8) know how to communicate scientific survey results to communities, decision-makers and the media; and
9) be certified in SCUBA diving and emergency safety protocols.
The Conservancy is now seeking applicants with undergraduate degrees in ecology, biology, natural resource management, Hawaiian studies, environmental studies, geology, geography, conservation or other related fields. Candidates must be proven “self-starters” who have demonstrated initiative and motivation in all of their past experiences (e.g., school, professional or volunteer projects). Preference will be given to applicants who have knowledge of cultural and traditional marine resource management practices, are dedicated to marine conservation, and are likely to seek careers in the marine resources management and conservation field in Hawai‘i.
For more information, contact Jan Eber at jeber@tnc.org or call (808) 587-6269. The deadline for submitting applications is January 2, 2008.
Funding for the Marine Fellowship Program is being provided by the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) and the Atherton Family Foundation.
The Nature Conservancy is a leading conservation organization working around the world to protect ecologically important lands and waters for nature and people. To date, the Conservancy and its more than one million members have been responsible for the protection of more than 15 million acres in the United States and have helped preserve more than 102 million acres in Latin America, the Caribbean, Asia and the Pacific.

HOW MUCH DAMAGE HAS HUMAN FISHING DONE TO THE OCEAN?
HOW MUCH DAMAGE HAS HUMAN FISHING DONE TO THE OCEAN?
We thought we could fish forever, because the sea was a limitless protein mine. But dawning now is a realization that we were wrong about that. But how naive were we? And what price will be paid? Ocean life is dying back in unexpected ways: although there are fewer fish and other sea animals, more of them are starving, while waves of 'sickness' spread as primitive microbes gain the upper hand. Symptoms include spreading 'dead zones,' harmful algae blooms and a diminished presence of sea animal life in general. Is fishing implicated in all of this?
Atlantic Canada reveals what is probably the clearest evidence anywhere of the ecosystem-effects of persistent human fishing. The early 1990's crash of the once great Canadian cod stock is held up as a global cautionary tale against fisheries mismanagement, against greedy human 'overfishing.' But less well known is that the story is not that simple, that, at the level of scientific detail, so much has gone severely and unexpectedly wrong in Atlantic Canada...that the most basic assumptions underlying the 'science of overfishing/sustainable fishing' must now be questioned.
Zooplankton were unexpectedly and inexplicably lost along with Canadian fish stocks. If, as seems likely, this is part of the ecosystem impact of fishing, then this finding has global significance.
Evidence: a Transformed Ecosystem
As the size and abundance of commercially targeted fish species has plunged in recent decades, populations of smaller, unexploited organisms, the 'foundation' species of the marine ecosystem, have also experienced major downshifts. Oceanic zooplankton is in decline, and NASA/NOAA has recently reported an apparent global declining trend in marine phytoplankton production. Evidence suggesting lowered marine nutrient cycling can also be seen along clean oceanic shorelines.
Example: A clean, rocky intertidal zone in Atlantic Canada was heavily dominated by barnacles (filter feeding animals) in summer, 1948, reflecting relatively high marine productivity at that time. (Photo from Stephenson and Stephenson 1954 J. Ecol. 42:14-70 ) Move mouse over photo to see this site in summer, 2002. Now dominated by rockweed with relatively sparse barnacle cover, with individual barnacles very small, this shift away from dominance by filter feeders, and towards dominance by seaweeds, offers classic evidence of a decline in "nitrogen loading" rates. (Carpenter and Capone, Nitrogen in the Marine Environment (Acad. Press, NY, 1983)) This pattern of shifting dominance from filter feeders to seaweed is also widely evident today in the tropics where mass coral bleaching and infectious coral epidemics signal the failing health of those once dominant filter feeders.

Diving With Sharks
My first experience with sharks came at the age of six, looking through the glass of a San Diego Aquarium, looking bright eyed and up at these big fish with fangs and ugly teeth. Kind of like what my daughter looks like when she wakes up in the morning.
When I was little and every chance to visit this sharks I took the chance, not many visits but the few I was able to do, until I got older, I knew then what I knew now. I fell in love with these beats. They are magnificent creatures of mystery and intrigue.
You want the best; dive with these guys:
http://www.divingwithsharks.com/index.html
NO Body BETTER!
Discover cage diving with great white sharks off Australia, California, and South Africa, or try scuba diving with the Caribbean reef sharks of the Bahamas, encounter whale sharks, or hammerheads. This section features some of the top shark diving destinations around the world, and where to go for the best shark diving opportunities
Learn why sharks are some of the most interesting and mysterious creatures in the sea. Have you ever wondered where would be the best place to go cage diving with great white sharks? Or what kind of shark is the biggest fish in the sea? Here are a few quick facts about some of the species most commonly encountered by divers.
For over 400 million years sharks have been the oceans top predators, dominating the marine world and swimming without fear. But now over-fishing and a rising demand for shark body parts, such as cartilage, teeth, and especially the fins, have placed many of the worlds sharks in danger. Check this section to learn more.
Diving With Sharks is here to make your next shark diving experience as seamless as possible. We have selected the top vessels out of San Diego, checked the dive crews and reviewed everything down to your meal service and cage construction. In short these vessels are the best you can get.Shark diving allows shark enthusiasts, divers and non-divers an easy way to observe the extraordinary world of Great White Sharks.
The shark cages we use create a discernable barrier that our sharks quickly recognize allowing us to safely observe and experience these incredible animals up close and personal. Safety is our highest priority, for both divers and our sharks. Shark diving is unique in the fact that the rewards often far exceed the effort both physically and mentally. Not to say that shark diving is not challenging, getting in the water with up to five Great Whites can very challenging and very exciting to say the least!
Shark diving with us requires less equipment to bring along, and only minimal equipment is needed to dive in our cages. For instance we use surface supplied air at Isla Guadalupe, thus no tank is required to be worn in the cage or while climbing in and out of the water leaving more room in the cage. We also provide regulators and weights. Our shark diving crews are industry professionals who care about your safety and enjoyment. In the world of cage diving with Great Whites you can either go where everyone has been before, or discover a newer and better world.
It will change the way you think of adventure forever. Period!
