The Environment Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts
For more than twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in educating the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with nearly 250 professionals working full-time at the local, national, and international levels to reduce the scope and severity of global environmental problems, such as the erosion of large wilderness 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 unspoiled wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economy to advocate for sound 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. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas. Our work is grounded in the best available science and our goal is to reverse the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat on which they depend.
International Fisheries
Pew’s international fisheries project aims to secure an enduring system of rules and consequences for international fisheries that ensures the sustainability of fish populations over the long term and supports the health and resilience of the marine ecosystem more broadly. Our main areas of work include: the advancement of precautionary harvest strategies and effective compliance regimes for international fisheries; improved protection of vulnerable marine species and their nursery and spawning habitats affected by international fisheries; and improved policies and actions aimed at ending illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing.
Position Overview
The officer, markets, international fisheries is responsible for leading markets engagement in support of relevant international fisheries objectives. The position is based in London or Washington, DC and reports to the director, international fisheries in Washington, DC. 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.

Global Campaign to End Illegal Fishing
At least one fifth of all fish taken from the sea are caught illegally or beyond the reach of regulators. This significantly threatens the health of the global ocean ecosystem and undermines the economies of countless fishing communities around the world. Fishing grounds in developing countries and on the high seas are especially vulnerable to exploitation by companies that engage in illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing. International crime in fisheries flourishes because flag states do not fulfill their legal obligations to control the fishing operations of their vessels, and port states do not have the tools or incentives to identify and prosecute these crimes in port.
There is no single action capable of addressing IUU fishing. Many tools must be marshaled to close down the avenues for illegally caught and unregulated fish. The campaign is working to lay the foundations for a global system of enforcement to combat illegal fishing through the adoption and effective implementation of policy measures that enable the identification and tracking of industrial-scale fishing vessels, the development of practical tools to improve information-sharing among enforcement authorities, and the building of the necessary human and technical resources to sanction such vessels if they have engaged in illicit activities.
Position Overview
The manager will focus on the policy work of the campaign which is vital to ensuring the vision Pew has to combat illegal fishing is implemented. The position will lead and coordinate the campaign strategy that relates to the Port State Measures Agreement, the Cape Town Agreement, Unique Vessels Identifier (IMO Number), the mandatory tracking of vessels and Flag States obligations. It will include outreach to key stakeholders and coordination of engagement with stake holders, market entities, policy makers, international organizations and in international fora, as well as with Pew. The manager will work closely with the project director and the senior officer responsible for enforcement and compliance to ensure the delivery of policy objectives across the project with a specific focus on advocating for the use of key policies to combat illegal fishing within a truly global system of enforcement. 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.

Project Overview
At the start of 2014, a new era began for fisheries management in the European Union. A new Common Fisheries Policy, aiming to restore EU fish stocks, entered into force. For the previous five years, Pew and 192 other organizations worked through the OCEAN2012 coalition to support an ambitious reform. Though that process proved successful, overfishing is far from over. The legislation must be implemented well on the water if the new policy is to achieve its aims. To make this happen, Pew launched a campaign in 2014 that focuses on ending overfishing in northwestern European waters.
Position Overview
This Brussels-based position will be responsible for driving and supporting the objectives of Pew’s ending overfishing in northwestern Europe project through management of the Brussels staff. The manager will oversee engagement with EU institutions in Brussels, and member state governments, working with partner organizations to devise effective strategies and deploy persuasive arguments to advocate for improved fisheries management. This will include focusing on effective, timely implementation of the existing EU Common Fisheries Policy, including the setting of fishing limits that do not exceed scientific advice, and agreement of multi-year legislation and other management measures that prevent overfishing in European waters. The manager will report to and work closely with the project director, ending overfishing in northwestern Europe.

Pew has worked in the United States and Canada since 1990 to protect vast stretches of unspoiled wilderness and more recently expanded our land conservation efforts to Australia’s Outback and Chilean Patagonia. Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economy to advocate for sound 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. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has played a significant role in reforming marine fisheries management in the European Union and on the high seas. Our work is grounded in the best available science and our goal is to reverse the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat on which they depend.

Ocean Conservation in Atlantic Waters of the United States and Canada
Pew’s conserving life in Canada’s oceans project advances new marine protected areas; protects environmentally sensitive areas of the Arctic Ocean from harm caused by industrial fishing, offshore oil and gas development, and shipping; and promotes science-based fisheries conservation measures for depleted and threatened marine life in waters off the Atlantic Maritime Provinces. Pew’s conserving marine life in the United States project seeks to protect essential habitats found in coastal waters, as well as promote 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, protecting ocean habitat like deep sea corals, reducing the incidental capture and killing of non-target species (known as bycatch), and integrating the use of comprehensive ecosystem plans into fisheries management.
The cold, nutrient rich waters off New England and Canada’s Atlantic Maritime Provinces provide important habitat for a diversity of marine life, including commercially and recreationally important fish and invertebrate species and marine mammals. Highly endangered Atlantic right whales rely on these waters as their primary foraging areas. Since 2017, several of these animals have been found dead, triggering the United States National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA) to declare an unusual mortality event. Evidence indicates that entanglement in fixed fishing gear used to catch crab and lobster in Canada and the U.S. is contributing to these deaths. As part of Pew’s broader efforts to reduce bycatch in both Canadian and U.S. fisheries, Pew is working to secure science-based policy measures in both countries, including gear modifications and seasonal area closures, to reduce the incidental catch of endangered North Atlantic right whales and other marine life. In addition, Pew is advancing complementary work to protect forage fish in Canadian and U.S. waters that feed dependent predators like right whales.
Position Overview
The senior associate will be based remotely in Massachusetts and will report to the project director, U.S. and Atlantic Canada oceans. Responsibilities will include developing, implementing and advocating for Pew’s ocean conservation campaign goals in U.S. and Canadian Atlantic waters, with a specific focus on reducing entanglement of marine mammals in fishing gear and protecting forage fish. This position requires a strong capacity to think strategically and ability to work across policy jurisdictions and stakeholders in the U.S. and Canada. The senior associate will work closely with project team members in Washington, DC and staff from government relations, communications, research, and other Pew departments. The senior associate will also extensively engage with external organizations, including Fisheries and Oceans Canada, NOAA, research institutions, non-governmental organizations (NGOs) and industry representatives. 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.

The Government Performance Portfolio within Program
Government performance, one of the five program portfolios at The Pew Charitable Trusts, identifies and advances effective policy approaches that improve policy at all levels of government. The portfolio’s project teams conduct research on emerging topics, develop data-driven reports, and highlight innovative approaches to addressing complex problems. Initiatives currently focus on three key areas for federal, state, and local governments: (1) management and budget; (2) health and human services; and (3) safety and justice.
GP utilizes the basic tools required to explore and advance effective policies, regardless of the issue: credible, timely, and user-friendly research; assessments of public support for change; strategic outreach and dissemination to ensure that good information is widely communicated to decision-makers, media, influential stakeholders, and the public; the capacity to bring together diverse perspectives and find common ground; and the ability to identify and apply approaches that have proven successful elsewhere.
The GP portfolio is led by the vice president and head of government performance, with support from a vice president and senior directors who provide oversight over select projects and functions within the portfolio.
Position Overview
The senior director oversees three current projects: civil legal system modernization, public safety performance, and dental health. Each of these conducts data analysis and produces research to inform critical policy debates, provides technical assistance, and manages advocacy campaigns that deliver meaningful policy reforms, and considers how technology can be brought to bear on particular public policy challenges. Together, the combined budget of these projects exceeds $15 million annually and encompass approximately 50 staff.
In addition to overseeing these projects, the senior director draws on his/her understanding of federal, state, and local government strategy and practice and experience in a range of domestic policy areas to partner with the vice president and the other senior directors to set overarching strategy for the portfolio, generate new project ideas, and collaborate with program colleagues to plan for how to operationalize new initiatives.

The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts
For more than twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in educating the public and policy makers about the causes, consequences, and solutions to some of the world’s most pressing environmental challenges. Our environment work spans all seven continents with nearly 200 professionals working full-time 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. Preserving these places offers an opportunity to conserve wildlife habitat, shorelines and pristine landscapes for current and future generations. Our work relies on the sciences of conservation, biology, and economy to advocate for sound 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. Since 2005, Pew’s ocean conservation program has expanded around the world and has 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 our goals include reversing the decline of ocean life ranging from sharks and tunas to penguins and whales, and the habitat and conditions on which they depend.
Chilean Patagonia
Chile’s Patagonia is one of the last remaining intact wilderness areas of the world, yet today it is both under-recognized and under-protected. Pew and its partners are working to change that by promoting this region’s unique value in the world and developing and implementing policies to secure the long-term protection of this remarkable landscape.
Chilean Patagonia is on the west coast of the southern cone of South America, where the continent tapers toward the Antarctic Ocean. While many of Chile’s natural lands all have important ecological values, Patagonia is special because of its high degree of intactness, endemism and exceptional land and sea interconnectedness.
Approximately 80 percent of this area remains unspoiled, therefore making it similar in ecological condition to Australia’s Outback and Canada’s Boreal, other places where Pew works. Although it is approximately one-fifth the size of the continental-scale Boreal in Canada and Outback, Chile’s Patagonia stretches over several hundred miles of important wilderness that features unique geography, oceanography and ecological productivity, including a lush temperate rainforest, glacier-carved valleys, windy grasslands, inland shorelines, and countless fjords and islands.
In partnership with a robust network of non-governmental organizations in Chile, Pew will work to improve and enhance the protection of this landscape through the country’s park and reserve system, while also promoting public-private partnerships for new conservation efforts.
Position Overview
The officer, Chilean Patagonia project assists in leading the implementation of a campaign to establish permanent and durable policies to protect Chile’s Patagonia ecosystem. This will include work in the regions of Los Lagos, Aysén, Magallanes, and possibly other geographical locations in Chile. The campaign works closely with other partner organizations, including a working group of Chilean environmental organizations, to mobilize support and technical expertise for strong and durable conservation of the Patagonia region.
This position is based in Pew’s Santiago, Chile office and will report to the project director of the Chilean Patagonia initiative.
