Ghost Gear Communications Strategist

About this role

The Ghost Gear Communications Strategist will develop and begin implementing a communications strategy to advance Ocean Conservancy’s work on ghost gear (lost, abandoned or discarded fishing gear) which is pound for pound the deadliest form of debris to marine life.  The Strategist will seize opportunities over the next year to advance our conservation work on this critical issue, develop foundational materials and content for ghost gear communications and lay the groundwork to grow Ocean Conservancy’s public footprint on ghost gear over the next five to ten years. The Strategist will also develop a brand guide to ensure alignment between Ocean Conservancy and the Global Ghost Gear Initiative (GGGI), a global alliance convened by Ocean Conservancy that brings together industry, NGOs and governments. For more than 50 years, Ocean Conservancy has delivered effective, evidence-based solutions for the ocean and all who depend on it. They continue to unite science, people and policy to protect our ocean from the greatest challenges it faces: climate change, plastic pollution and biodiversity loss.
