CRC is pleased to announce that we have two openings within our Environmental Management Career Development Program, which provides coordination and project support to the Chesapeake Bay Program.
Habitat Goal Implementation Team Staffer – APPLICATION DUE DATE: JULY 7, 2024
The Environmental Management Staffer in this position will support the CBP’s Habitat Goal Implementation Team (Habitat GIT). The Habitat GIT works to restore, enhance, and protect a network of land and water habitats to support native fish and wildlife populations, and to afford other public co-benefits, including water quality, recreational uses, and scenic value across the watershed. It does this by convening habitat experts from federal, state, local and non-governmental organizations to identify priorities, seek funding for projects, and leverage resources to facilitate projects that restore degraded and/or conserve high-value habitats. These habitats include wetlands, submerged aquatic vegetation, and streams. There are two Habitat GIT Staffers who provide support to workgroups and action teams associated with these habitat types and species that depend on these habitats such as migratory fishes and birds, Eastern brook trout and American black duck. This Staffer position will co-support the Habitat GIT and be the primary Staffer for the Stream Health Workgroup, Brook Trout Action Team, and Fish Passage Workgroup. This position will also serve as Panel Coordinator for the Mid-Atlantic Panel on Aquatic Invasive Species (MAPAIS).
