  • Marine Director WCS Finaltor
    JOB DESCRIPTION Director, Marine Conservation and Fisheries Wildlife Conservation Society Founded in 1895 as the New York Zoological Society The Wildlife Conservation Society seeks a Director of Marine Conservation and Fisheries, to be based at WCS headquarters in New York City. WCS has a long history of ocean exploration and conservation, including William Beebe’s 1934 record-setting bathysphere dive and Roger Payne’s extraordinary 1974 discovery of humpback whale songs. From these early roots, and reflecting the WCS focus on saving wildlife and wild places, WCS’ marine conservation efforts currently focus on four strategies: Marine Protected Areas, sustainable fisheries, marine mammals, and sharks and rays. Supporting these strategies, WCS maintains a strong commitment to applied marine scientific research and is building its capacity to leverage our impact through WCS’ New York Aquarium and other innovative partnerships. To deliver on these objectives at scale the Director oversees all WCS marine conservation efforts, including the implementation of marine conservation actions by ~250 marine conservation staff in Belize, Cuba, Nicaragua, Argentina, Chile, Gabon, Congo, Equatorial Guinea, Kenya, Tanzania, Mozambiue, Madagascar, Bangladesh, Myanmar, Indonesia, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, Vanuatu, Fiji, New York and the Arctic Beringia, as well as overseeing staff who coordinate global initiatives on marine species (cetaceans and sharks), climate, fisheries and marine policy. The program is staffed by a dynamic and committed team of field scientists based at sites around the world, and a directorate of six staff in New York. Position Objectives: * Direct WCS’s marine conservation programs across 9 global priority regions and all 5 oceans in Africa, Asia, Latin America and North America that largely focus on the establishment and management of marine protected areas, artisanal, and commercial fisheries, and the global conservation of marine mammals and sharks and rays.

  • 2019 Community Health Needs Assessment Survey
    COMMUNITY HEALTH NEEDS ASSESSMENT 2019 To all New Yorkers: As New York City’s public health care system, our goal is to empower you to live your healthiest life. Clinical care starts with you and your health care team, but we recognize that many factors impact your health beyond medical care alone – a safe home environment, space to be physically active, access to fresh food, even exposure to daily stress and poor social well-being can impact your health outcomes. To assess and prioritize the greatest health needs of the neighborhoods and communities we serve, NYC Health + Hospitals conducted a comprehensive and inclusive process to complete this Community Health Needs Assessment for 2019. The findings represent the voices of the patients we serve, clinical experts and community partners, and are backed by quantitative data analysis. Recognizing that the health needs of patients coming through our hospital doors may not represent the wider health needs of the community, we embarked on an extensive stakeholder engagement process led by OneCity Health, who built new relationships with community stakeholders through the Delivery System Reform Incentive Payment (DSRIP) program. For the first time, we conducted a system-wide assessment to identify priorities that need to be addressed city-wide and will allow us to maximize our resources in response. We believe that we should reliably deliver high-quality services and that patients should have a consistent experience at our facilities. Since our 2016 assessment, we have worked tirelessly to address significant health needs of the community and to make it easier for our patients to access our services: • We opened and renovated dozens of community-based health centers to expand access to primary and preventive care.

    TAPE ART NEW YORK AQUARIUM The Bathysphere There is never a shortage of things to see on the boardwalk at Coney Island. In August 2014, however, passersby were treated to something new: Over the course of five days, Tape Art created a three-part mural on the grounds of the New York Aquarium, recalling the historic accomplishments of the Bathysphere, a deep-sea exploration capsule. 1-800-tape-art • tapeart.com TAPE ART NEW YORK AQUARIUM The project was commissioned to celebrate the 80th anniversary of the Bathysphere’s descent a half-mile (3,028 feet) below the ocean’s surface, on August 15, 1934. It set a record for human exploration of the deep that remained unbroken for the next fifteen years. The capsule was the result of a partnership between William Beebe and Otis Barton, who explored the deep together from within their tiny metal sphere. Measuring only four feet and nine inches in diameter, there was no room inside for a camera of that period. Instead, they used a telephone line to verbally describe the creatures they saw to Gloria Hollister, up on deck. These descriptions were later used to create sketches and paintings of the previously unseen marine life they had encountered. 1-800-tape-art • tapeart.com TAPE ART NEW YORK AQUARIUM The Narrative Barton and Beebe were the first humans to witness deepwater fish in their natural environment, exploring a world hitherto only imagined and much mythologized. Their first-hand accounts were originally dismissed by some as flights of fancy. In the intervening years, the scientific community has identified nearly all the fish they documented.
