About NOAA Alaska Fisheries Science Center
The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration (NOAA), National Marine Fisheries Service (NMFS), Alaska Fisheries Science Center (AFSC) conducts research to support NOAA Fisheries’ stewardship on living marine resources by managing and monitoring the health and sustainability of fish, marine mammals, and their habitats across nearly 1.5 million square miles of water surrounding Alaska, which produces more than half of the fish caught in the United States, worth $1.8 billion. This region includes waters in the Gulf of Alaska, Bering Sea, Aleutian Islands, Chukchi Sea, and Beaufort Sea. Together, these waters support some of the most important commercial fisheries in the world, are home to the largest marine mammal populations in the Nation, and support some of the most critically endangered marine mammal populations. The AFSC’s Operations, Management, and Information Division (OMI) Communications Program supports the AFSC Center mission by translating the science that is conducted into high-quality communications products and services for both internal and external audiences to inform, educate, and inspire.
Under this contract, IBSS will provide Media Specialist III support to the AFSC. The Media Specialist III supports AFSC’s diverse science portfolio by planning and executing the development of media and graphics materials that inform appropriate target audiences of AFSC’s research, accomplishments, and activities. The Media Specialist III promotes AFSC science, products, and services, both internally and externally, to other international, federal, state, and local agencies, universities, and the general public.
