Ocean Associates Inc. (OAI) is seeking applicants for a full-time position to collect commercial fishing cost information, provide data services, and assist in creating other deliverables to support the Social Sciences Branch of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center, within NOAA Fisheries. OAI is a Virginia corporation established in 2003 that provides consulting and technical services to the U.S. government, non-governmental organizations, international organizations, and the private sector. We specialize in scientific program and project management, strategic planning, professional and technical services and stakeholder engagement, supporting government contracts. Description The Social Sciences Branch (SSB) of the Northeast Fisheries Science Center (NEFSC) carries out economic and social primary research, data collection, and analysis for NOAA Fisheries in the Greater Atlantic region. SSB staff are responsible for collecting primary data and providing estimates of economic and social impacts on fishing businesses and communities associated with fisheries management decision making, which inform management actions. These economic and social data are used in many of the frameworks and amendments to the region’s fishery management plans (FMPs) that require economic and social impact analyses. Without an accurate understanding of the financial costs faced by commercial fishing businesses, these analyses would suffer. SSB staff strives to provide accurate, timely, and relevant data and analyses about economic and social conditions in the Greater Atlantic region’s fishing communities to its stakeholder groups, which include fishing industry participants, fisheries management decision makers, fishing community organizations, academics, non-profit organizations and the interested public. To collect financial costs faced by commercial fishing businesses, SSB staff conduct a voluntary survey of commercial fishing vessel owners. Data collected include general vessel information, operating costs (trip costs), fixed costs (non-trip costs), and crew costs for the indicated calendar year. Surveys were previously sent in 2007-2009, 2012, 2013, and 2016 to collect costs incurred by vessel owners in the previous year. Response rates for these surveys varied from a high of 29% in 2012 to a low of 6% in 2016. The SSB is now preparing to implement a survey in 2023 to collect costs incurred by commercial fishing vessel owners during 2022. The survey will be administered largely based on the Dillman (2014) mixed-mode protocol, allowing individuals to respond by mail, online, or through a phone call or virtual interview. This survey will be sent to every owner of an active federally-permitted commercial fishing vessel in the Greater Atlantic region, spanning the Atlantic coast from Maine to North Carolina. Though some individuals own multiple vessels, only one vessel will be selected to survey, amounting to ~2,800 surveys sent. In order to handle the anticipated volume of survey responses, the SSB Cost Survey Working Group (Cost Survey WG), consisting of three staff economists, is seeking to hire a Research Technician. This individual will be responsible for entering data from returned mail surveys, conducting virtual interviews/phone calls with vessel owners who choose that method of survey response, and performing QA/QC of survey data.

Fauquier Cemeteries Database Intern Geographic Focus: Fauquier County Office Location: Home Office/Warrenton Office Supervisor: Historic Preservation Coordinator Job Classification: Internship INTRODUCTION The Piedmont Environmental Council (PEC) is a 501(c) (3) non-profit organization that has proudly promoted and protected the natural resources, rural economy, history and beauty of the Virginia Piedmont since 1972. PEC empowers residents to protect what makes the Piedmont a wonderful place, and works with citizens to conserve land, protect air and water quality, celebrate historic resources, build smart transportation networks, promote sustainable energy choices, restore wildlife habitat and improve people’s access to nature. BACKGROUND Currently, Fauquier County’s cemeteries are documented in a variety of ways in different databases, books, archives, and other sources. Fauquier County GIS Department has a digital cemetery layer, but many of those cemeteries have not been formally documented. The state Department of Historic Resources (VDHR) has numerous cemeteries listed in Fauquier County, but it’s unclear which ones are also in Fauquier County’s GIS database and which are not. Many other sources exist on maps and in books. None of these sources have ever been compared against each other to create a comprehensive list. Without such a comprehensive record, these resources will continue to be threatened because they haven’t been adequately identified and documented.  DESCRIPTION OF POSITION This position is an internship not to exceed 480 hours.  It is estimated that this person will work 30-40 hours per week over the course of a 12-16 week period. In order to create a comprehensive cemetery list, the intern will use the following sources to compare against each other: VDHR’s Virginia Cultural Resource Inventory System database Fauquier County GIS Cemetery Layer Eugene Scheel maps Afro-American Historical Association’s cemetery records Fauquier County Tombstone Inscriptions by Nancy C. Baird Any other cemetery records housed at Fauquier Historical Society or Fauquier Heritage and Preservation Foundation Any cemetery records located in the Virginiana Room at the Warrenton Branch library The results of this project will be a spreadsheet with associated GIS point layer showing locations of all known cemeteries across the county. The Intern will work with VDHR and Fauquier County to update records so that both databases reflect the same documented cemeteries. This project will provide a tangible community benefit to Fauquier in the form of a single database of historic cemeteries, including many overlooked African-American cemeteries. In addition, it will build PEC’s capacity to research and document historic cemeteries in other areas of the Piedmont by providing a replicable model. AREA OF RESPONSIBILITY The interns will report to Historic Preservation Coordinator and be responsible for the duties outlined below: Completing a training with VDHR to use V-CRIS, the state’s historic resource database Combining currently listed Fauquier County cemeteries at the state and county level into one excel spreadsheet Researching additional sources of cemeteries, including a to-be provided list of books, and maps Meeting (virtually or in-person) with a to-be provided list of local historical organizations to gather additional information on cemetery locations in the county Combining all known cemeteries into one master spreadsheet that minimizes duplication wherever possible Adding locations of these known cemeteries into ArcGIS as data points Data Entry into V-CRIS to update existing cemetery records and/or add new ones based on information gathered in master spreadsheet QUALIFICATIONS Bachelor’s degree required. Background in the fields of history, historic preservation or archaeology is a plus. Valid driver’s license and reliable transportation required. Comfortable using Microsoft Office and Google Drive applications COMPENSATION $20.00 per hour BENEFITS As a temporary position, there is no eligibility for fringe benefits.
