                            San Diego, CA

Branch of SPAWAR Systems Center Pacific. Primary job responsibility is to act as Navy
representative and liaison on a five-year, multi-faceted, collaborative marine mammal

stems from the critical need to obtain information on behavioral responses of beaked
whales and other species sensitive to military sonar. Job duties are to ensure fleet
compliance with marine mammal legal obligations and the Navy's "at sea" policies;
manage, prepare and edit complex documents; organize and participate in special
environmental research and monitoring studies and public outreach efforts; develop
marine resources monitoring and mitigation measures; coordinate proposals with
agencies and the public; and develop solutions to resolve conflicts.
