Internship/thesis opportunity at Monterrey Bay Aquarium SeafoodWatch Programme
There is currently an opportunity for a thesis or internship student to work with the Monterrey Bay Aquarium SeafoodWatch Programme through their work on the Southeast Asian Shrimp Aquaculture Improvement Protocol (SEASIP).
SEASIP is a collaborative of Southeast Asian partners developing a set of standards specifically designed to develop more inclusive market-based eco-standards for shrimp production in the region.
There are a few opportunities under this programme – including:
1. Testing their protocols and standards on farms in Vietnam, Thailand and Indonesia.
2. Researching the possibility for small-holder group certification using SEASIP
3. Assessing the programme itself to determine how SEASIP can better impact small holder inclusion into the US certified market, while maintaining a necessary level of impact as measured by Seafood Watch
The position also comes with funding, the level of which will be determined by the design of the specific project.
