The following job vacancy for the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service's National
Wildlife Refuge System is currently posted on    www.usajobs.opm.gov   for
current U.S. federal employees.  My apologies for the lateness of this
message, and for those interested who aren't currently in Government
service - or U.S. residents.

The National Wildlife Refuge System manages over 93 million acres (above
and below water) of U.S. natural resources with a priority on the wildlife
(terrestrial, freshwater, or marine) and the habitats they need to survive.
Two Florida Keys refuges (Key West and Great White Heron National Wildlife
Refuges),  managed out of the National Key Deer Refuge Headquarters,
contain roughly 365 sq. miles of marine waters within their administrative
boundaries and overlap with portions of the Florida Keys National Marine
Sanctuary.

This position entails monitoring the resources, working closely with Refuge
managers and advising on marine resource management of the Refuges, and
coordinating with staff and management of the Florida Keys National Marine
Sanctuary, state, and local agencies.
