    Default job background
    Description

    Given the importance of habitat to Fraser River salmon, and the intensity of development pressures in the Lower River and estuary, Raincoast has initiated a Lower Fraser Salmon Conservation Program.

    Our work here is focused on estuary research, restoration and building a vision for salmon habitat conservation.

    A major component of the program, and focus of this role, is supporting the development, and ultimately implementation, of a vision for salmon habitat conservation and restoration.

    Implementing this plan requires a governance structure and funding mechanism with an overarching priority of ecological resilience .

    Over the past four years, Raincoast has been actively engaging community members in the Lower Fraser to discuss the concept of a vision for salmon habitat.

    This has included leading a series of workshops to discuss issues, concerns and considerations in developing and implementing this vision.

    The priority for this is role is to support and coordinate Raincoast's efforts to create and establish such a plan, including working with partners to develop potential governance structures for salmon habitat management, restoration and protection.

    It will also include developing and overseeing Raincoast's strategic communication and outreach efforts.

    We are also leading a long term research program in the Fraser River estuary focused on understanding juvenile salmon presence, timing and distribution and the associated restoration of migration barriers in site specific locations.

    Managing and building relationships with First Nations, federal and provincial government agencies, conservation groups, municipalities and a range of organizations and individuals.

    Production of technical and non-technical briefing documents relating to salmon habitat. conservation, restoration and protection.
    Engaging in public and media forums including content for social media.
    Management of the program budget and preparation of funding proposals and grant reports.
    Postgraduate degree in biology, environmental science or related fields.
    Knowledge of and interest in conservation issues facing wild salmon in British Columbia.
    Effective written and interpersonal communication skills.
    Reside in, or be willing to relocate to, BC's Lower Mainland.
    Valid driving license and willingness to travel throughout BC's Lower Mainland.
    Experience with science communication, including a working knowledge of social media platforms.

    Raincoast is a team of conservationists and scientists empowered by our research to protect the lands, waters and wildlife of coastal British Columbia.

    We use rigorous, peer-reviewed science and community engagement to further our conservation objectives. We call this approach 'informed advocacy'.

    As a charitable, non-profit conservation science organization that operates a research lab, research field station and a research/sailing vessel, we are unique in Canada.

    Our on-the-ground presence coupled with our rigorous peer-reviewed science, unique among environmental groups, has given us a deep-rooted understanding of this vast coastline, its processes and its people.

    To protect the land, water and wildlife of coastal British Columbia.
    We believe this approach will help ensure the survival of wildlife and ecological processes at all levels. Central to our efforts are long-term relationships with Indigenous governments that are rapidly regaining agency over conservation decisions.
    Want to volunteer?

    Are you a biology student looking for a great summer job? We are looking to hire two field assistants.

    Field Research Assistants
    Two positions – one Position must be returning student in fall 2018
    We are seeking two field research assistants to study juvenile salmon ecology in the Fraser River estuary, BC.

    Duties will consist of assisting Raincoast staff with purse and beach seine and fyke net sampling, fish identification, fish measurements, water chemistry sampling, and other data collection.

    Days will be long and will involve exposure to the elements and some heavy lifting working from boats or on the shoreline.

    Today, the estuary is highly fragmented with numerous jetties (North Arm, Iona, Steveston) altering the flow of water, sediment and nutrients to Sturgeon and Roberts Banks.

    Restoring connectivity within the Fraser estuary by addressing these physical barriers will allow increased access for juvenile salmon to delta rearing habitats, enabling their natural migrations during a critical stage before ocean entry, and potentially improving their early marine survival.

    This field research program will serve as baseline monitoring prior to future restoration actions and there may be an opportunity for this to lead into a Masters position in the Faculty of Forestry at UBC under Dr.
