This full-time position will be based in or near Fort Bragg, Mendocino County, and will entail extensive travel and diving in northern California and, occasionally, throughout the state. Reef Check is part of a consortium that is doing baseline monitoring of marine protected areas (MPAs) in this region.

We are looking for someone who is an outstanding leader and able to inspire volunteers. The candidate must be organized, capable of working independently and have excellent oral and written communication skills. Experience managing and leading volunteers will be a plus.
