The Mangrove Action Project, an international NGO focused on conserving and restoring mangrove forests around the world, has launched a campaign called “Question Your Shrimp.”  The campaign aims to increase awareness and change behaviors around the consumption of farmed shrimp from overseas, which has proven to be so highly destructive of mangrove forests around the world and the rich ecology and marine life these forests support.

Internship Opportunity:

MAP currently seeks interns to help with the first phase of the QYS campaign.  In this phase, MAP will conduct a survey of  Seattle area restaurateurs.  The survey aims to gauge current knowledge levels around social and environmental issues related to the production and consumption of farmed shrimp from overseas, and determine the barriers which might prevent them from joining our cause and signing the Pledge to stop serving this shrimp and serve only sustainable shrimp.

Availability and Activities:  We are looking for up to four (4) dedicated individuals who can make an on-going commitment of 5-20 hrs per week to speak to restaurant owners and conduct the survey interviews.  Each interview will take approximately 20-30 minutes.  Most of the work can be done independently, at your convenience and based on the schedule of the restaurant representatives you contact.

Location:  Seattle/King County metropolitan area. 

Benefits:  These are unpaid positions. Depending on circumstances, we may be able to provide educational credit, references for future employment, and reimbursement for approved expenses relating to the position. 

To apply, please send your resume and a letter of interest to: SeattleOffice.MAP@gmail.com

Mangrove Action Project also seeks volunteers interested in the following areas:

· fundraising

· event promotion

· use of social media

· contributions and updates to our QYS campaign blog and MAP website

If you have an interest in any of these areas, please contact Lisa Pau, MAP’s Outreach Director at:lisa_pau@yahoo.com and/or Alfredo Quarto, MAP’s Executive Director at: mangroveap@olympus.net
