The National Ocean Protection Coalition (NOPC) seeks to create and strengthen Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) in the United States. NOPC seeks a curious, motivated individual to join our team as an intern for an 8-10 week period.
The intern will learn about MPAs, ocean policy, and ocean conservation while helping to support NOPC’s organizational goals of protecting key ocean spaces. Over the course of the internship, the intern will work with NOPC staff on their government relations, partner activities, administrative processes, and research projects. The intern will also work with external partners on a variety of projects that advance ocean conservation and protect existing MPAs.
The 8-10 week internship has flexible start and end dates, but ideally running from late June-August. This is a fully remote position, with optional in-person events and meetings for DC-based individuals. This is a temporary, non-exempt role reporting to the Executive Director.
