Join us in the field by taking part in one of our Earthwatch expeditions - Dolphins and Whales of Abaco Island.

Earthwatch volunteers entering data from the day's research on the ocean.

You will have the opportunity to stay at our research centre for a period of ten days with up to seven other expedition participants and be directly involved in our active field research.

You will accompany us on our research vessels and assist us in collecting vital and unique data on a variety of marine mammal species, including rare beaked whales that are found here in the Bahamas.

While at our research center you will also have the opportunity to develop skills in photo-identification, data entry, and data analysis, along with a host of other techniques and experiences. Check out the expedition on the Earthwatch Institute website:- www.earthwatch.org

There are also positions as volunteer staff members available throughout the year. Staff members are required to help run and maintain all aspects of the research centre. We are especially interested in having Bahamian internships.

UPDATE:
Our next opportunities for internships are available in 2009 - to apply for these, please email us during the month of September 2008, and include your resume and detail why you would like to help this project.
