Catalina Island Conservancy: Chief Conservation and Science Officer
In order to fulfill its mission, the Catalina Island Conservancy must engage many different Island-connected audiences in understanding the ecology of the Island and the stewardship required to protect it. The Chief Conservation and Science Officer is a senior level position that directs the Conservancy's efforts relating to ecological protection, restoration of the Island’s natural and cultural resources, and scientific research and monitoring. This position also plays a key role in the engagement of on- and off-Island audiences in the long-term protection of the Island.
