So too are the deep seabeds that lie below them. Recent advances in marine science technologies have revealed rich seafloor ecosystems around the planet. A significant fraction of those ocean bottom regions contain rich deposits of commercially valuable minerals. Most of those deposits are found on the international ocean bottom that lies beyond national jurisdiction, at depths ranging from 500 to 6000 meters below the surface. The richest deposits are in three distinct seabed areas: abyssal plains; hydrothermal vent zones; and underwater mountain chains. Advances in deep-sea technical capabilities and rising demand for minerals found in rich concentrations on the seabed have now combined to move deep-sea mining from science fiction to imminent possibility. The responsibility to write the rulebook that will govern all seabed mining beyond national jurisdiction is invested in the International Seabed Authority (ISA), the 167-member state body established by the United Nations Convention of the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS). In 2017 the ISA began work on a Mining Code that will establish the standards for environmental protection, the procedures by which those protections will be enforced, and the financial regime that will govern commercial exploitation if and when it occurs.  The objective of the Pew Seabed Mining Project is to influence the development by the ISA of an international mining code that provides for the potential closure of large, ecologically important areas of the deep sea to mineral extraction and imposes precautionary standards to minimize environmental damage if seabed mining does occur; and to work with scientists and other experts to secure the protection of biodiversity and habitat in the two regions where mining would likely first begin. Position Overview The senior associate, seabed mining project plays a critical, supporting role in the development and implementation of effective campaign strategies to achieve project objectives in the drafting of the ISA’s international mining code. This role reviews and communicates scientific and regulatory information, including the development of both materials and relationships. The senior associate reports to the associate manager, seabed mining project, and is located in Pew’s Washington, D.C. office. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

Building on the momentum that exists in the field to address this issue and Pew’s history of working on criminal justice and behavioral health issues, Pew launched the mental health and justice initiative to connect stakeholders, establish models for reform, and improve the capacity of states and county governments to implement comprehensive alternatives to decrease the use of law enforcement, jails, and emergency rooms as the response for people experiencing an acute mental health crisis. This project envisions a continuum of services that ensures people with mental health and substance abuse needs are connected to treatment and engaged in recovery. This initiative will combine intensive state and national engagements to provide data-driven policy considerations, technical assistance, and design funding strategies, together with policymakers, philanthropy, and other stakeholders to implement promising practices across the county.   Position Overview The officer supports Pew’s efforts to help decision makers and influential stakeholders nationally address key policy challenges by providing them with relevant data and research and bringing to bear national expertise and examples of policy reforms that have been successful in other cities.   The ideal candidate has a strong policy background, with expertise in mental health or related fields. The candidate should be knowledgeable about state policy and political landscape and have the proven ability to facilitate policy conversations and discussions of research with key decision makers. In addition, the successful candidate can communicate and work effectively with diverse individuals and organizations in the nonprofit, public, and private sectors. Finally, the candidate should be able to work with relevant research and policy teams throughout Pew, to synthesize data and existing research, and to participate in conceiving and drafting original materials for both internal and external consumption.   The position, based in Pew’s Washington, D.C., office, reports to the project director, mental health and justice. The position has a set time frame that could be extended based on the success of the program, funding sources, and board decisions on continued support.

Our environment work spans all seven continents with more than 250 professionals working at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large natural ecosystems that contain a great part of the world’s remaining biodiversity, and the destruction of the marine environment. Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Safeguarding these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economics to advocate for practical and durable solutions to the loss of biodiversity. In the sea, reforms to how our oceans are managed are essential to address overfishing, pollution, and loss of habitat. Pew began its oceans program in the United States, focusing on ending overfishing and protecting fragile marine habitat. Starting in 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program expanded around the world and played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas and creating marine reserves around the world. Our work is grounded in the best available science and pursues domestic and international conservation measures that are long-term and provide permanent, durable protections for marine ecosystems. Conserving Marine Life in the United States Pew's conserving marine life in the United States (CMLUS) program focuses on protecting essential habitats found in coastal waters like oyster reefs, seagrass meadows, kelp forests, and salt marsh that provide nursery areas, food and refuge for a diversity of marine wildlife. This work includes working with communities and partners to advance management measures at the state and federal levels that conserve and restore economically and ecologically valuable coastal habitats. Additionally, the program promotes an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management that takes into account the interdependent nature of ocean life. This work includes advancing measures that protect forage fish that feed dependent marine life, protect ocean habitat such as deep-sea corals, reduce the incidental capture and killing of non-target species (known as bycatch), and integrate the use of comprehensive ecosystem plans into fisheries conservation and management. Position Overview The manager, conserving marine life in the U.S. is responsible for overseeing implementation of coastal habitat conservation initiatives in the New England and mid-Atlantic states, and leading work with managers and stakeholders to establish an ecosystem-based approach to fisheries management in federal waters of the region. They will focus on advancing Pew’s project goals in three major areas: coastal habitat and restoration initiatives with a focus on oyster plans and protection; efforts to advance ecosystem-based fisheries management (EBFM) in relevant fishery councils and commissions; and, cross-cutting program initiatives and emerging opportunities, such as establishing a new National Estuarine Research Reserve and seagrass conservation efforts.  They will focus on advancing Pew’s project goals primarily in Connecticut, Rhode Island, New York, Delaware, and Virginia for coastal habitat, and at the Mid-Atlantic Fishery Management Council (MAFMC), Atlantic States Marine Fisheries Commission, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), and other decision-making bodies for EBFM.  The manager also oversees scoping for new potential lines of work in New England and the mid-Atlantic, and conduct outreach to stakeholders and decision-makers in the regions as needed to advance Pew’s coastal habitat and fisheries objectives. The manager oversees three staff focused on program objectives in the region. The manager reports to the project director, conserving marine life in the U.S., and is based in Pew’s Washington, D.C. office. This position is contingent upon board approval in December 2020.
