Marine Biologist

**Job Title: Marine Biologist**

**Responsibilities**:

- Conduct field research and ecological assessments of coastal and marine ecosystems,

including mangroves, seagrasses, coral reefs, and salt marshes.
- Analyze biodiversity, ecological health, and carbon sequestration potential of marine

habitats to support conservation and climate change mitigation efforts.
- Collect, process, and analyze environmental and biological data from coastal blue carbon

ecosystems.
- Collaborate closely with GIS, remote sensing, and GeoAI teams to validate ecosystem

data derived from drone and satellite imagery, ensuring the accuracy of spatial and

temporal models.
- Monitor environmental changes in marine ecosystems, such as habitat degradation,

restoration progress, and the impact of climate change on blue carbon ecosystems.
- Prepare comprehensive reports, policy briefs, and scientific publications to disseminate

research findings to stakeholders, including government bodies, conservation groups, and

the scientific community.
- Contribute to the design and implementation of marine conservation strategies and blue

carbon projects, advising on ecosystem management and restoration practices.
- Engage with local communities, NGOs, and policymakers to promote awareness of

marine conservation issues and the importance of coastal ecosystem preservation.

**Qualifications and Skills**:

- Master’s degree in Marine Biology, Ecology, Environmental Science, or a related field

(PhD preferred).
- Extensive knowledge of coastal and marine ecosystems, with specific expertise in blue

carbon ecosystems such as mangroves, seagrasses, coral reefs, and salt marshes.
- Proven experience in conducting fieldwork, including biodiversity assessments, carbon

quantification, and ecosystem monitoring.
- Familiarity with environmental data collection tools and techniques, including water

quality monitoring, species identification, and habitat mapping.
- Ability to work collaboratively in multidisciplinary teams, integrating biological data

with GIS, remote sensing, and AI-driven models.
- Strong analytical and problem-solving skills, with a track record of scientific writing and

publication in peer-reviewed journals.
- Effective communication skills for presenting research findings to both scientific and

non-scientific audiences.
- Knowledge of marine conservation laws, policies, and international frameworks (such as

the Blue Carbon Initiative) is an advantage.
