They use knowledge of procedural requirements and processes to support the technical work of their unit. They provide practical technical support to research, operations, or program administration efforts. Position/Project Specifics: The Marine Non-Salmonid Recreational Fishery Studies Project collects marine recreational fisheries data along the entire Oregon coast to support management, monitoring, and assessment of Oregon's important non-salmonid species targeted by marine recreational anglers. The project consists of three full-time year-round samplers, with one each stationed on the north, central and south coast, and a project coordinator stationed in Newport, Oregon. Specific activities fall into three broad categories of fisheries sampling and monitoring: 1) At-sea observation aboard charter fishing vessels (which are conducting regular fishing trips) to collect location specific data on catch rates, discard rates, and size of discarded fish; 2) dockside sampling of angler catches for length and age structures such as otoliths (rockfish) and fin rays (lingcod); and 3) winter dockside creel surveys and video review of marine recreational fishing effort and catch in major ports. This announcement is for the south coast position, which is stationed at the Oregon Department of Fish and Wildlife office in Brookings, Oregon, and is responsible for sampling the area from Coos Bay to the Oregon/California border, primarily the ports of Charleston, Bandon, Port Orford, Gold Beach, and Brookings. The incumbent is expected to work independently and without close supervision to efficiently achieve sampling goals. Duties include substantial amounts of data entry, video review, processing of biological samples, and use of electronic data collection technology. Interacting with the fishing public, maintaining positive relationships with charter operators and offices, and demonstrated sea worthiness are required. Occasional participation in other Department projects may be included. ** This position requires a valid driver's license and all offers of employment will be contingent upon passing a driving record check. **
