CALL FOR RESUMES
Marine Spatial Planning Specialists
DAI is
an employee-owned global development company.
Since 1970, DAI has worked in more than 150 countries—delivering results

into impact by bringing together fresh combinations of expertise and innovation
across multiple disciplines, including water and natural resources management,
energy, and climate change mitigation and adaptation.
Background
DAI is preparing
a proposal for Sustainable Ecosystems Advanced (SEA), an anticipated 5-year
marine biodiversity conservation and sustainable fisheries project in
Indonesia. The project will apply an ecosystem-based approach to management
(EBM) towards reforming fisheries management; improving marine and sustainable
fisheries governance; and promoting marine protected areas to enhance fisheries
productivity, food and nutrition security, and sustainable livelihoods. It is anticipated that SEA will have offices
in Jakarta and Eastern Indonesia—West Papua, North Maluku, and Maluku.
Marine Spatial Planning

be a critical input to project planning, development of fisheries management
plans and decision-making for sustainable fisheries management and marine
conservation interventions. The Marine
Spatial Planning Specialist will also collaborate with Ministry of Marine
Affairs and Fisheries (MMAF) and local government partners to mainstream MSP
into management practices and national policy; and will support implementation
of a performance monitoring system to monitor progress against implementation
timelines.
The
specific responsibilities will include:
- Apply MSP to assess opportunities for project-led interventions in SEA’s target districts.
- Collaborate on implementation of baseline assessments of marine ecosystem in target districts.
