[Coral-List] Revised Postings for Oceana Jobs

[Matthew Huelsenbeck]

I wanted to rephrase the postings for the two positions at Oceana that were
pointed out to contain a factual error regarding Oceana's mission statement
and found to be offensive. My apologies, I was not the writer and my job was
to advertise the positions, but I can fix it to make it factual correct.
Here are the revised postings that I hope you could add to the email list.
Thank you.
