JOB OPPORTUNITY: General Manager - Chumbe Island Coral Park (Zanzibar) chumbeisland.com/career/ Chumbe Island Coral Park Ltd. (CHICOP) is based in Zanzibar/Tanzania. Established since the early 1990’s CHICOP lobbied for, and went on to acquire management rights over, the Chumbe Island Marine Protected Area (MPA). This award-winning privately managed protected area is renowned as the first financially independent and self-sustaining MPA in the world (and is today one of only two existing). This is made viable through revenue generated by sustainable marine ecotourism (both day visitors and overnight guests staying in Chumbe’s eco-lodge). The tourism operations in the MPA utilize commercial principles with not-for-profit objectives to finance project operations, conservation, research and an extensive environmental education programme for local schools. The MPA includes a protected Coral Reef Sanctuary and Closed Forest Reserve. There is also a Visitors’ centre used for Chumbe’s education programs. #coralreefs #jobs #jobopportunity #zanzibar #mpa #management #coral #coralreefecology #marineecology #marinebiology #careers
