<p class="MsoNormal">We have an exciting new applied science position with The Nature Conservancy (TNC) in Virginia. The coastal bays of Virginia host the largest seagrass restoration in the world, and our team (with our partners) has established the world’s
first blue carbon seagrass project. We are currently hiring a Blue Carbon Specialist focused on co-benefits to seagrass restoration. The position description is below and attached to this email.<o:p></o:p></p>

innovative, on-the-ground solutions to our world's toughest challenges so that nature and people can thrive together. Our global priorities are to tackle climate change and protect biodiversity at an unprecedented scale. One of our core values is our commitment
to diversity. Therefore, we strive for a globally diverse and culturally competent workforce. Working in 72 countries, including all 50 United States, we use a collaborative approach that engages local communities, governments, the private sector, and other
partners. To learn more, visit </span><a href="http://www.nature.org"><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif">www.nature.org</span></a><span style="font-size:9.0pt;font-family:"Arial",sans-serif"> or follow @nature_press on Twitter.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

is a 50-year old program launched to protect the globally significant barrier island, coastal bays, and mainland portion of Virginia’s Eastern Shore. With ownership of all or parts of 14 barrier islands and thousands of acres of mainland property, TNC’s programs
focus on migratory bird conservation, marine habitat restoration, land protection, coastal resilience, research partnerships, and community engagement. In collaboration with academic, state, and federal partners, we have been successfully restoring eelgrass
to Virginia’s coastal bays for the past 20 years, and the project’s success - the largest seagrass restoration on the planet – was instrumental in the development of a methodology to estimate the net greenhouse gas emission reductions and removals resulting
from the restoration of seagrasses. Using the approved methodology, TNC and partners have developed and are in the process of having verified the first registered blue carbon seagrass project in the world. . While we have a relatively robust understanding
of the greenhouse gas emission reductions associated with the restoration, the scale of the project provides numerous co-benefits to the Virginia Coastal Bays, such as increased fish biomass and water clarity, which we would like to further explore. The Blue
Carbon Specialist will work to expand the understanding and evidence of co-benefits of eelgrass restoration through research, analysis, collaboration, and publication of a scientific paper.

NCS provide climate change mitigation via conservation, restoration, and sustainable management of forests, wetlands, grasslands, and agricultural lands. As part of a larger learning network at TNC, the NCS Prototyping Network, the Specialist will connect
and regularly engage with the NCS Prototyping Team and similar projects in multiple global geographies to share information and support peer-to-peer learning.
