Fisheries & Biodiversity Intern
2 weeks ago
**Salary**:£20,320 per annum
**Start Date**: September 2023
**Contract Type**:Three months
**Location**:Fauna & Flora, Cambridge. Current policy offers partial remote working within the UK
Small-scale fisheries account for 90% of global fishers and 40% of the global catch. Effectively managed small-scale fisheries are, therefore, crucial to food-security, poverty eradication and biodiversity conservation. In 2014, with the growing recognition of the importance of small-scale fisheries, FAO member states adopted the Voluntary Guidelines for Securing Sustainable Small-scale Fisheries in the Context of Food Security and Poverty Eradication (SSF-Guidelines). These go beyond responsible fisheries to ensure the rights of fishers and fish workers are respected, adopting a human rights-based approach.
Fauna & Flora’s marine approach is designed to safeguard species, habitats and livelihoods through effective protection and management of marine ecosystems, placing a particular emphasis on empowering local communities as custodians of the marine resources on which they depend. This approach aligns with the SSF Guidelines but the extent to which the SSF Guidelines are being actively implemented, or implemented via alternative mechanisms, in Fauna & Flora focal countries is unclear. Furthermore, the impact on biodiversity of SSF guidelines implementation, or analogous human-rights based approaches, is unclear.
In return, you will gain valuable insight into how cross-cutting teams work within an international conservation organisation through supervision by fisheries specialists and dedicated time shadowing the Global Policy team. You will have tailored training and support in skills relevant to the internship and you will develop connections with conservation practitioners in varied roles, from international policy experts to on-the-ground implementers across Fauna & Flora and partner organisations. Alongside technical knowledge of small-scale fisheries projects and the context in which this work sits, you will also enhance your skills and experience in policy review and analysis, qualitative interview, and literature review. You will also have access to Fauna & Flora’s internal training portal - Mangrove - to advance your professional development in the areas you are most interested in. You will have the opportunity to attend and present in international marine team meetings, develop dissemination and communication skills for different audiences, and gain an insight into projects across the globe.
