Center for Fisheries Electronic Monitoring at Mote (CFEMM)<\/h2>\n

The Center for Fisheries Electronic Monitoring at Mote (CFEMM)<\/a> internship provides research
\nexperience on commercial fisheries, fisheries management, and electronic monitoring (EM)
\ntechnology. We work in partnership with the commercial Gulf of America reef fish fishing
\nindustry that primarily targets snappers and groupers. The goal of our Center is to use EM as a
\ntool to collect catch and bycatch data and provide valuable data products for industry and
\nmanagement’s use in making decisions that will help to ensure long-term fishery health.<\/p>\n

What is EM?<\/h4>\n

This system uses 3-5 cameras and an array of sensors to record fishing activity
\nonboard a volunteer commercial fishing vessel. We partner with US-based EM service providers
\nfor equipment installation and the software we use to review the video collected from each
\nfishing trip.<\/p>\n

The CFEMM works directly with commercial captains and crews in Florida and Texas to
\ncoordinate equipment installations, maintain systems, collect data, and provide that data to
\nstakeholders. In addition, we review vessel fishing imagery at our Center, explore and integrate
\nnew technologies to enhance data acquisition, and streamline data analysis and products for
\nboth industry and management.<\/p>\n

Primary intern activities will include:<\/h5>\n
    \n
  • Review video to record fish species caught<\/li>\n
  • Assist staff with EM system maintenance and vessel communications<\/li>\n
  • Conduct literature searches and review<\/li>\n
  • Utilize R to examine spatiotemporal trends in reef fish data<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n
    Preferred experience and qualifications:<\/h5>\n
      \n
    • Experience or interest in identifying fish species (particularly marine finfish and sharks)<\/li>\n
    • Experience programming in at least one language or a strong willingness to learn<\/li>\n
    • Ability to work well alone and as part of a team<\/li>\n
    • Strong attention to detail<\/li>\n
    • Strong communication skills<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

      While this position is primarily lab-based, interns will receive opportunities to work in the field,
      \naccompanying staff visiting commercial fish houses and waterfronts. Depending on project
      \nneeds, interns may also have the opportunity to gain lab and\/or field experience with additional
      \nMote research teams, such as Fisheries Ecology, Stock Enhancement, and Aquaculture.<\/p>\n

      This internship may require the physical ability to lift 30 lbs to shoulder height, walk\/work in
      \ndifficult field environments, and bend or stoop for prolonged periods. The CFEMM accepts
      \ninterns year-round, with an average internship length of at least 12 weeks. Typical hours are
      \nMonday through Thursday from 9:00 am to 5:00 pm with occasional Fridays.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
