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 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.

The Environmental Portfolio at The Pew Charitable Trusts
For more than twenty-five years, Pew has been a major force in engaging 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 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.
Protecting Ocean Life on the High Seas
Although the high seas make up a majority of the world’s oceans, no institutional or formal legal framework currently exists to designate fully protected marine reserves beyond a country’s exclusive economic zone except in the Southern Ocean. These waters, covering an area larger than all of the world’s continents combined, exemplify the tragedy of the global commons—exploited by all, but protected by none. The value of fully protected marine reserves has been increasingly recognized by individual countries which have established reserves in their own exclusive economic zones as a means to protect and conserve marine biodiversity and ensure the health of marine ecosystems.
The United Nations (U.N.) General Assembly established an intergovernmental conference in 2018 to negotiate final text of a treaty to protect marine biodiversity in the high seas. This project utilizes Pew’s experience as a leader in the creation of science-based marine protected areas and international ocean policy to drive a global campaign to generate worldwide support for a strong high seas treaty.
Position Overview
The senior associate, protecting life on the high seas will help develop and implement a global campaign to secure a new international legal instrument enabling the establishment of marine-protected areas and reserves on high seas.
The position, based in Pew’s Washington, D.C. office, reports to the project director, protecting ocean life on the high seas. 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.

Protecting Antarctica’s Southern Ocean
The protecting Antarctica’s Southern Ocean (Southern Ocean) project builds on over a decade of engagement in Antarctica, and is currently working to establish a network of marine reserves in the Southern Ocean through the Commission for the Conservation of Antarctic Marine Living Resources (CCAMLR), an organization made up of 26 members, including the United States and the European Union. The project goal is to establish four protected areas in CCAMLR managed waters by the end of 2023.
Antarctic marine reserves serve many important ecosystem functions, one of which is to protect foraging areas for penguins, seals, whales, and other predators by restricting industrial fishing. In 2016, the project succeeded in establishing the world’s largest marine protected area (MPA) in Antarctica’s Ross Sea. CCAMLR is currently considering three other MPA proposals in the East Antarctic, the Weddell Sea, and the Antarctic Peninsula region. To build on the momentum of the Ross Sea, the Southern Ocean team will continue to work with international partner organizations, key influencers, and CCAMLR governments to secure more large-scale marine reserves, and work towards the vision of a network of protected areas surrounding the Antarctic continent to safeguard its unique wildlife from the pressures of human activities.
The project also aims to minimize the impacts of industrial fishing by implementing ecosystem-based fisheries management measures for Antarctic krill, a keystone species in the Antarctic food web, and to ensure Southern Ocean fisheries management measures take into account the cumulative impacts of climate change. The team works with governments, scientists, and partner organizations around the world to ensure these conservation measures are based on the best available science and are precautionary. We also seek to minimize illegal, unreported, and unregulated fishing in partnership with Pew’s ending illegal fishing project.
Position Overview

The Government Performance Portfolio within Program
Pew’s government performance work identifies and advances effective approaches to help solve complex challenges at all levels of government in the United States.
The portfolio’s work can be traced back to our founders’ early efforts to improve the lives of Americans by supporting efforts that promoted health, civic engagement, and democratic ideals. Today, we conduct research on emerging topics, develop data-driven reports, and highlight innovative approaches in addressing complex problems at the federal, state, and local levels. Current initiatives focus on health and human services, government management and budget, family economic stability, and safety and justice.
Our teams explore and advance effective policy reforms using credible, timely, and accessible research, assessing public support for change, identifying approaches that have proved successful elsewhere, and bringing together diverse perspectives to find common ground. In addition, our teams use strategic outreach and dissemination to ensure that good information is widely communicated to decision-makers, media, influential stakeholders, and the public.
