This project is to directly support the Florida Department of Environmental Protection’s (DEP) Coral Protection and Restoration (CPR) program, including assisting administration of CPR funding, leading DEP’s regional restoration and propagation initiatives, supporting the evolving stony coral tissue loss disease (SCTLD) and disturbance response effort, and expanding CPR communication efforts, through a Coral Restoration Projects Coordinator (‘Coordinator’). The Coordinator is a core member of the DEP CPR Team and will be responsible for working directly with the CPR Administrator to set and implement high-level priorities and goals and to ensure that the CPR Team’s efforts are aligned with Florida’s restoration and propagation goals as well as other state priorities. The Coordinator is intended to be a conduit of information related to response activities and management priorities, including for up-to-date information on CPR-related priorities and budgeting. As a complement to the SCTLD and disturbance response efforts, the Coordinator will provide financial and technical administrative support for restoration related efforts that will further enhance Florida’s Coral Reef. These include but are not limited to coordinating closely with FWC’s Propagation Coordinator, supporting implementation of state restoration priorities including the Governor’s new priority Florida’s Coral Reef Restoration and Recovery Initiative (FCR3), development of restoration plans at various scales, partner planning and execution of restoration-related projects and efforts, and participating in relevant working groups and calls.
