?? Our division has an internship opportunity! ?? The FY2025 Lapenta Program is?now accepting applications?until Dec 10, 2025.?Below is the link where students can find instructions on how to apply and information about the program. https://lnkd.in/e3QNpPiW This paid, 10-week internship would provide interns an opportunity to address immediate challenges and research needs to support NOAA's mission and ever-broadening user community. HESD Project Title:?Understanding the complexities of Essential Fish Habitat consultations on sensitive coastal, riverine and marine fish habitats (NMFS) HESD Project Description:?GARFO’s Habitat and Ecosystem Services Division (HESD) reviews Essential Fish Habitat (EFH) consultations pursuant to the Magnuson-Stevens Act (MSA). EFH is defined as "those waters and substrate necessary to fish for spawning, breeding, feeding or growth to maturity,” with certain habitats that are more sensitive to impacts from coastal and offshore development, and climate change. These sensitive habitats include, but are not limited to: submerged aquatic vegetation (e.g. seagrass) beds, Habitat Areas of Particular Concern (HAPCs), and tidal Special Aquatic Sites (e.g. mudflats, wetlands, coral reefs, sanctuaries and refuges, vegetated shallows, riffle and pool complexes). HESD staff perform the EFH consultations as mandated by the MSA and are frequently asked questions regarding the importance (or necessity) of these sensitive habitats when working with federal agencies and the general public. The HESD Lapenta intern will develop an interactive and engaging public-facing product (Story Map or something similar) to help break down the complexities of EFH consultations for the sensitive habitats described above. The product goals will include 1) describing sensitive habitats (imagery, definitions, creative examples), 2) providing relevant examples of fisheries that use sensitive habitats, 3) describing threats to each habitat type, and 4) case studies of successful management of sensitive coastal, riverine and marine habitats for each habitat type. This resource will be shared with internal and external partners and the general public to demonstrate the ecological significance of these sensitive habitats, and why it is especially important to avoid, minimize, and mitigate impacts to sensitive habitats. This resource will also assist external agencies in their development of EFH assessments for projects that impact sensitive fisheries habitats for more streamlined consultations and public transparency. The overall goal of this product is to make it engaging and creative to effectively communicate the importance of Essential Fish Habitats.

?? This summer, we've been encouraging you to share the #woodsupplychain with students in your community. Check out this article by Gloria Coleman at The News-Review, which features FRA member company?Roseburg Forest Products.?The company offers #internships for students to gain hands-on experience working in the woods. ??? “It’s super interesting. There’s a lot going on in the timber industry, more than meets the eye. So it’s been a really fun experience, getting to learn about it and kind of be in it,” says Owen Vredenburg, a current intern. ??

Planting trees is Sunnah and need of the time. So plant more trees. 1. #CMClimateInternship 2. #YouthForSustainability 3. #GreenPunjabVision 4. #ClimateLeadersPunjab 5. #CMClimateInternship? 6. #EPDClimateWarrior

From my conversations with the community, I've learned that involving everyone in decision-making promotes long-term conservation success. Local people know a lot about the ecosystem, its plants and animals, and the problems it faces. Their knowledge and experiences make sure that everyone who depends on the area's natural resources benefits from conservation efforts This collaborative approach improves how conservation helps everyone involved. #conservation #communitybasedapproach #communityengagement #humanwildlifeconflict #conflictmanagement #wildlifeconservation #internship #learning #gaininginsights #gainingknowledge #gainingexperience #conservationist #conservationmatters #saveearth #savewildlife
