The Fellow will work with the Director of Strategic Conservation Initiatives and a team of EDF scientists, economists, and other professionals on a high-profile shark conservation project with trilateral implications (U.S., Mexico, and Cuba). The project contemplates both, biological and socioeconomic objectives that will become important components of a rights based management solution capable of stopping the decline of sharks in the Gulf of Mexico by producing economic benefits from conservation, and improving ecosystems and livelihoods in the three countries involved.

The fellow will have the unique opportunity of shaping important decisions for our project through contributions addressing the theoretical and practical implications of rights based management models for wildlife. In particular, she/he will build on the lessons of rights based management models used for elephants and rhinos in Africa, and will also examine other types of strategies and models used for the conservation of marine mammals, and whales in particular. She/he will evaluate the incentives for conservation produced by other existing conservation models, as well as their potential for shark conservation. The fellow will also analyze international institutions aimed at preserving highly migratory species, and assess their effectiveness in light of catch and mortality behavior.

Natural Resource Specialist Coeur d’Alene Tribe

Beginning in the early 1990s, a Natural Resource Damage Assessment (NRDA) has been conducted in the Coeur d’Alene Basin (Basin).  Created in 1980, under the Comprehensive Environmental Response and Compensation Act (CERCLA or Superfund), the NRDA process focused on injuries to natural resources resulting from releases of hazardous substances from mining and mineral processing operations in the Coeur d'Alene Basin.  Over the life of the damage assessment, numerous settlements have been reached with all named defendants and, as of September 8, 2011, a judgment was entered by the U.S. District Court of Idaho that ended the litigation.  As a result, the Coeur d'Alene Basin Natural Resource Trustee Council was created, consisting of the Tribe, U.S. Department of Interior (DOI), U.S. Department of Agriculture (DOA), and the State of Idaho.  The Trustee Council is responsible for the development and implementation of a Restoration Plan.  With the support of an established Natural Resource Restoration Team (NRRT), made up of resource experts from the individual Trustees, the governments have committed to work together to develop, adopt, and implement restoration actions consistent with a Restoration Plan that will restore, replace or acquire the equivalent resources to those injured.  All activities will occur utilizing funding sources that have been made available through various NRDA settlements.
