JNCC is presently advertising for a Senior Marine Mammal Specialist. Our marine mammal work is highly varied and involves the delivery of species monitoring initiatives; conservation status assessment and reporting; interpretation of evidence to provide advice on protected areas management and marine mammal conservation more widely. This involves active engagement/collaboration with a variety of stakeholder groups including government(s), NGOs and academia nationally and internationally. The team plays a significant role in identifying and reducing evidence gaps, as well as in helping to shape marine mammal conservation policy.
