- Project Seahorse

(PS) is a leader in marine conservation, making discoveries & collaborating globally to take effective action for seahorses and their seas. The organization is committed to conservation and sustainable use of the world’s coastal marine ecosystems, and has won significant awards for its unusual blend of research and management at scales ranging from community initiatives to international accords. Project Seahorse collaborates with a wide range of stakeholders and partners to build capacity for conservation, with a focus on saving seahorses, establishing marine protected areas, limiting problem fisheries and regulating wildlife trade.

A key PS focus is how to constrain nonselective and destructive fishing gears, and particularly bottom trawls. This hugely common form of fishing is devastating for a huge array of marine populations, including for seahorses, and for habitats. Bottom trawlers scour the bottom of the ocean and catch everything in their path, willy nilly. Bottom trawling is also implicated in slavery and indentured labour, and often persists only because of harmful fishing subsidies. There is no place for bottom trawling in a sustainable and equitable ocean future.

Project Seahorse is advancing knowledge of bottom trawling, for greater scientific and public engagement and to drive significant policy change. We seek a senior research assistant to support our efforts.

FUNCTION
