WORK EXPERIENCE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED–

EXPLORE THE MARINE LIFE OF GANSBAAI, SOUTH AFRICA

This whale season, we are looking for those interested in marine biology and marine mammals to come assist on our eco-tourism whale watching boat, Whale Whisperer with Dyer Island Cruises www.whalewatchsa.com, in exchange for housing at our student house and a food budget. Volunteers will get hands on experience of being crew on sea and assist us with data input/various marine mammal projects. We will train volunteers so that they are completely incorporated into every aspect of data collection, photo ID, and they will assist on any strandings - the works! Please view www.dict.org.za for further information on our ongoing research projects.

Volunteers will need to commit to at least one month and a maximum of six. Whale season begins in June and ends once the whales leave (end of December). No need for a degree in biology, just a keen interest in the sea and marine mammals (and a bubbly personality helps!). We only require one or two additional helpers per month so space is limited! Volunteers can expect many hours at sea and incredible experiences (we are at sea 7 days a week, 2-3 trips per day). Preference will be given to those who can stay the longest and those with prior experience. Please consider your sea-legs before applying for this position. :)

We are located in Gansbaai, South Africa and can arrange transport from Cape Town if necessary. Volunteers are responsible for their own transport to South Africa.

Anyone who is interested or has questions, please do not hesitate to contact me or applying by sending a CV (with Skype contact) at : michelle@sharkwatchsa.com
