L-NOAA-USA-20 Code Translator for Coral Reef Fish Data Seeking an individual that thinks in code to bring our data out of SAS and into R Coding	Code Translator for Coral Reef Fish Data	Seeking an individual that thinks in code to bring our data out of SAS and into R	National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration	1	L-NOAA-USA-20		Coding	The National Coral Reef Monitoring Program monitors fishes and corals in the U.S. Atlantic jurisdiction (USVI, Puero Rico, Florida, Flower Garden Banks). Our site allocations (where we want to sample) and other analyses have been constructed in SAS. We are seeking an individual to translate our SAS code to R code. R is now readily used by the scientific community and it is important we modernize our methods and analyses on U.S. coral reefs to make them accessible. The dataset that we work with is large and describes changes in reef fish and coral communities over time. This dataset has a fair number of nuances (as most do) so we are looking for a detail oriented individual. We want someone that isn't afraid to get into the coding weeds and is comfortable creating comments and functions to make the new code user friendly (to someone without any experience). Other coding opportunities are available if the translation of SAS code happens quickly.

National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration	1	NOAA-USA-2		Editing and proofreading, Educational design, Writing, Storytelling/blogging/vlogging	The coral reefs at the foot of Florida are legendary, making up a barrier reef that spans more than 255 continuous miles. The reefs are home to lobster, sea turtles, fish, and more, and they have protected the coastline from storm surge for thousands of years. But these coral reefs, like coral reefs across the globe, are in serious trouble. In recent decades, the coral reefs within Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary (FKNMS) have been damaged by hurricanes, bleaching, disease, and heavy human use. The sanctuary and its partners are working diligently to protect the reefs, but our efforts have not been able to keep up with the decline. Now, NOAA and our partners are launching Restoring Seven Iconic Reefs: A Mission to Recover the Coral Reefs of the Florida Keys, one of the largest investments in reef restoration anywhere in the world. By restoring corals at seven iconic reef sites in Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary, we can change the trajectory of an entire ecosystem and help save one of the world’s most unique areas for future generations. This internship will provide support to FKNMS education and outreach staff in the development of stewardship programs to support Mission: Iconic Reefs. These programs will engage volunteers and scuba divers in reef restoration. Additionally, this internship will support the development of education programs and materials, including lesson plans, activity books and more, to raise awareness of the ecosystems protected within the Florida Keys National Marine Sanctuary and how people can become stewards of this special place.

Do you like to listen to interviews about the ocean? Help make archived ocean radio programs accessible to deaf and hard of hearing people. Help make ocean audio content accessible by transcribing archived Ocean Currents radio programs hosted by sanctuary staff.	National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration	1	NOAA-USA-17		Editing and proofreading, Storytelling/blogging/vlogging	Do you like the ocean? Want to learn more about some interesting ocean topics? Archived ocean radio programs with themes about elephant seals, sex in the sea (how ocean animals reproduce!), climate change, and deep sea research are just a few of the topics you'll learn about while listening to the archived shows. We want to make these archived shows accessible to all people, especially those who are deaf and hard of hearing. To do that we need someone to listen and type what they hear into a template, spellcheck and "flag" words that are inaudible or not understandable to be filled in by your supervisor. There are about 20 episodes to transcribe. You will get to listen to interesting ocean content while you type into the program template provided by your supervisor. In addition, when you hear something unique and/or interesting, you can compose some tweets for the sanctuary to use in the future to promote the archived show/content on the sanctuary website. This helps more people to become aware about this fun ocean content and build their awareness about the ocean.		United States		Check out the archives of the Ocean Currents radio program https://cordellbank.noaa.gov/education/radioshow.html Programs prior to 2017 are all transcribed already, programs in 2018, 2019, and 2020 are the programs that need to be transcribed (and one in 2017).	2020-05-19 14:43:59	100		2811
