Are you passionate about our seas' future? Do you want to be at the forefront of coastal ecosystem restoration? Ulster Wildlife is seeking two dedicated Marine Project Officers to join our team delivering vital work within the Coastal Monitoring and Adaptation Planning (CMAP) project – a cross-border initiative tackling the climate and biodiversity crises on our coasts.
Funded by PEACEPLUS, a programme managed by the Special EU Programmes Body (SEUPB), Coastal Monitoring and Adaptation Planning (CMAP) is a €9.6M, cross-border project, led by Ulster University, that will help create sustainable adaptation to the threats posed by climate change and provide decision-makers and stakeholders at the coast with information on the nature of coastal change.
You’ll play a key role in helping to restore saltmarshes, intertidal and sub-tidal seagrass habitats.
The role responsibilities include:
- Conducting field surveys and habitat monitoring,
- Supporting the development of a flagship Urban Marine Living Lab in Belfast,
- Leading innovative citizen science and marine education events,
- Ensuring robust health and safety and biosecurity standards,
- Training and supervising volunteers and engaging communities.
This is a unique chance to blend marine science, restoration, community engagement, and project delivery to contribute to real-world change in coastal and marine resilience.
Apply now to champion blue carbon, protect marine biodiversity, and shape a sustainable future for our shared coastline.
