Applications open for Coastal Mendocino Extension Fellowship

Apply by August 18, 2023

California Sea Grant and the City of Fort Bragg are soliciting applications for a two-year fellowship to support the development of blue economy and coastal resilience strategies for the coastal communities of Mendocino.

The coast of Mendocino supports the livelihoods, lifestyle and culture of many communities through its working waterfronts. The region faces tough resilience challenges including extreme weather events, changing climate and ocean conditions, and the continued viability of waterfronts, marine-based industries and cultural resources. At the same time, Mendocino’s interconnected coastal culture and communities represent a great opportunity for developing a blue economy strategy that embraces climate resiliency and enables these communities to remain economically and culturally vibrant.

The Coastal Mendocino Extension Fellow will work to support these efforts, including assisting in the development of the Noyo Harbor Blue Economy Visioning, Resiliency and Implementation Plan. The position will be physically based in Fort Bragg, and the fellow will be part of the City of Fort Bragg special projects team. The fellow will also be a member of the California Sea Grant extension team and jointly mentored by a team of four California Sea Grant Extension Specialists.

Applications are due August 18, 2023. The position is expected to begin October 1, 2023.
