Onereef Careers in Santa Cruz, CA

OneReef is a social entrepreneurial venture: We bundle and package everything needed to verifiably protect and scientifically manage coral reef and related habitats, including sea grass beds, mangroves and strategic terrestrial areas, Our model is driven by the growing number of Pacific Island communities who own reefs and are willing to commit to science-based management interventions (our “army of allies”). Under simple, long-term agreements, communities commit to a marine spatial plan that includes no-take areas and catch limits, We currently have 120,000 ha under management, financed for 5 years. Our goal is to sustainably finance management of 1-2 million ha for 40+ years, under agreements that meet the needs of Pacific Islanders.
