The BEACON Science Advisory Committee (SAC) seeks an equity and justice expert to join the BEACON SAC.
The Beach Erosion Authority for Clean Oceans and Nourishment (BEACON), is a California Joint Powers Authority (JPA) that has been working to address the multiple issues of coastal erosion, coastal water quality, coastal restoration, and environmental justice and coastal equity along the Ventura and Santa Barbara coast since 1986.
In 2020, the BEACON Board of Directors appointed a Science Advisory Committee. The SAC consists of 12 members, covering multiple areas of expertise, spanning physical, environmental, and social and economic topics. In 2022, The Beacon board re-appointed SAC members for a second two-year term.
The BEACON SAC is seeking an additional member to be added to the SAC with Social and Environmental Justice and Equity Expertise. The SAC seeks an individual experienced in multiple theories of social and environmental justice, including distributive, procedural, as well as recognition.
BEACON is particularly interested in an individual combining knowledge and experience with scientific data and data methods, along with ‘traditional’ community knowledge, including Traditional Knowledges (TK), and data collection and analysis methods.
Types of knowledge resulting from the lived experience can contribute to a place-based, regional and community-level science and policy program at BEACON.
