- Description
- The National Oceanic & Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), a bureau of the U.S. Department of Commerce, is interested in procuring services to accomplish tasks that are part of Phase II of a project to characterize the marine ornamental trade by determining the volume of imports, species and source countries for marine ornamental fisheries. NOAA Fisheries is seeking a contractor to complete input of data into a database on imports of coral reef species into the United States. The contractor would work with a coral reef ecologist in NOAA?s Coral Reef Conservation Program to compile and enter data from customs declaration forms during the period of May 2004 - June 2005. The contractor will assist the agency on high-priority activities associated with the international trade in coral reef species, with the goal of improving our understanding of the role of the U.S. in the import of coral reef species and in the development of conservation measures to ensure US demand for these species does not contribute to the degradation of international coral reefs.
