Indonesia Net Free Seas Project Coordinator
The Environmental Justice Foundation (EJF) is an international non-governmental organisation working globally to protect people and the planet. EJF is working in Indonesia to combat illegal and overfishing practices as well as actively promote improvements to policy- making, corporate governance and management of fisheries and coastal areas. As part of this we are launching a 'Net Free Seas' pilot project to end the practice of discarding fishing nets at sea or on the coast, where they cause damage to ecosystems.
The Net Free Seas (NFS) project was first launched in Thailand in 2020. It aims to stop the flow of abandoned, lost, discarded fishing gear (ALDFG) into our oceans whilst empowering local communities to feel that they are part of the recycling solution by giving them the tools to collect and clean the nets themselves.
EJF is seeking a Net Free Seas project coordinator to join the team and expand this project to Indonesia. This position will include engaging with local fishing communities, recycling companies, and Indonesian government agencies to deliver key project objectives including: researching fishing communities to become part of the project, engaging with community members and local leaders to facilitate understanding and participation, as well as coordinating the retrieval and subsequent collection of discarded/waste fishing nets.
Successful candidates should be comfortable working independently and be confident in public speaking and community engagement. They will be adept at conducting administrative tasks related to online data collection and storage and should be adept at using Microsoft Office applications including Word and Excel. They should also have access to a vehicle and be prepared to travel within Indonesia.
