The Fishery Scientist – Predation Coordinator will take the lead in organizing predation related projects occurring throughout the Columbia River basin. This individual serves as a coordinator that is familiar with scientific research, effectiveness monitoring, and management strategy evaluation related to predation in the Columbia River Basin, including piscine, avian, and pinniped predators. The coordinator keeps in close contact with CRITFC science staff, and CRITFC member-tribal project leaders and agencies that perform work on predation related issues.

The coordinator must schedule and lead meetings that ensure synergy among predation projects across agencies and tribes and must help identify areas where fish benefits could be realized through existing project efficiencies and/or initiating new predation mitigation initiatives. The predation coordinator is responsible for daily budget and contract management and may negotiate contract terms with funding agencies. The coordinator considers the direct measurable benefits of each predation mitigation action, as well as the holistic basin-wide benefits of a comprehensive predator management program.
