    PURPOSE OF JOB CLASS (NATURE OF WORK)

    In the Department of Energy and Environmental Protection, as a limited duration employee, performs one or more of a variety of tasks and assigned duties of a seasonal nature.

    EXAMPLES OF DUTIES

    Marine Angler Survey Program:

    The Long Island Sound Study (https://longislandsoundstudy.net/) is a bi-state and stakeholder partnership dedicated to protecting and restoring the sound. While there has been significant progress in the restoration and protection of the resources of Long Island Sound, the partnership is taking a hard look at equity in the decision-making processes. Each of these decisions in investments, implementation and protection are derived from a variety of data sources. As a partner of the Long Island Sound Study DEEP is seeking to build connections with communities and improve access to these decisions and the data that feeds these decisions. DEEP is seeking bi/multilingual staff to build capacity, communications and create meaningful connections and access to the Long Island Sound resources.

    One of the specific data points that DEEP seeks to support through this program is the annual survey of the public who fish along CT’s coastline with DEEP’s Marine Fisheries Program (MFP) (https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Fishing/CT-Fishing) . The survey includes questions such as quantities of kept and released fish, their associated length/weight measurements and other information about that fishing trip. The survey is voluntary and requires good communication with potential responders. The survey data is used to determine recreational harvest of marine fish species, which is critical for stock assessment purposes and ultimately for managing the marine fishery for the public.

    The survey is provided in English, and the MFP is extending the program to include language support for non-English speakers. This language support is intended to create more equitable representation in the angler survey, and thereby enable more equitable representation in the management decisions that are based on this data and build a genuine connection with non-English speaking angler communities of Connecticut. The language support team will be provided the same training as survey technicians and provided all the necessary identifying clothing and materials to perform the job duties. The language support staff should be able to effectively engage with the public but are not required to have previous experience related to angler surveys.

    More information about the recreational angler survey can be found at the Marine Recreational Information Program (https://portal.ct.gov/DEEP/Fishing/Saltwater/CT-MRIP-Marine-Angler-Survey) website.
