Shenipsit State Forest

<h4>Introduction</h4> <ul><li>The Long Island Sound Study is a bistate and stakeholder partnership dedicated to protecting and restoring the sound. While there has been significant progress in the restoration and protection of the resources of Long Island Sound, the partnership is taking a hard look at equity in the decision-making processes. Each of these decisions in investments, implementation and protection are derived from a variety of data sources. As a partner of the Long Island Sound Study DEEP is seeking to build connections with communities and improve access to these decisions and the data that feeds these decisions. DEEP is seeking bi/multi-lingual staff to build capacity, communications and create meaningful connections and access to the Long Island Sound resources.</li><li>One of the specific data points that DEEP seeks to support through this program is the annual survey of the public who fish along CT’s coastline with DEEP’s Marine Fisheries Program (MFP). The survey includes questions such as quantities of kept and released fish, their associated length/weight measurements and other information about that fishing trip. The survey is voluntary and requires good communication with potential responders. The survey data is used to determine recreational harvest of marine fish species, which is critical for stock assessment purposes and ultimately for managing the marine fishery for the public.</li><li>The survey is provided in English, and the MFP is extending the program to include language support for non-English speakers. This language support is intended to create more equitable representation in the angler survey and thereby enable more equitable representation in the management decisions that are based on this data and build a genuine connection with non-English speaking angler communities of Connecticut. The language support team will be provided the same training as survey technicians and provided all the necessary identifying clothing and materials to perform the job duties. The language support staff should be able to effectively engage with the public but are not required to have previous experience related to angler surveys.</li></ul>Location <ul><li>Employees would be expected to drive to Old Lyme each workday whether for office work or field work. Field work ranges from Greenwich, CT to Stonington, CT. State vehicles (if available) are used for field work.</li></ul>Position Highlights <ul><li>The work week is based on 35 hours with working weekends and holidays required since most fishing effort occurs during those days (days off are during the week but the work schedule is extremely flexible). Field work may occur between the hours of 6am to 9pm.</li><li>Anticipated start date is June 1; Anticipated duration is 1,040 hours; non-contractual.</li></ul> <h4>Selection Plan</h4> Next Step: <ul><li>If selected for interview, applicants will be contacted by the divisions hiring supervisor anticipated for March/April of 2025.&nbsp;</li><li>If offered employment, new-hires must complete all new-hire paperwork prior to their first day of employment.
