Who is ORCA?

ORCA is a charity dedicated to studying and protecting whales, dolphins, and porpoises worldwide. We identify and protect critical whale and dolphin habitats. What makes ORCA unique is our commitment to combining accessible marine education with our conservation activities, allowing people from all walks of life to participate in marine science and conservation.

About the Role(s)

The Ocean Conservationist Network is a vital part of ORCA’s education and outreach work, inspiring thousands of passengers every year about the wonders in our waters. ORCA partners with the cruise and ferry industry around the world, giving us a wealth of data and inspiring countless guests with the wonders of cetaceans.

We are seeking a team of Ocean Conservationists to work on board ferry routes sailing the Bay of Biscay, North Sea and English Channel. 

The work on board is divided into two key areas:

1. Inspiring the Public
   - Deliver lectures and workshops to people of all ages and backgrounds.
   - Connect with passengers through onboard activities, inspiring a personal connection to marine conservation.
2. Data Collection
   - Conduct daily wildlife watches and collect data on cetaceans using our ORCA OceanWatchers app.
   - Guide wildlife watches, helping guests have memorable wildlife experiences at sea.

Note: These are remote roles, and you will be the sole ORCA representative onboard. 

Who We’re Looking For

We are seeking passionate and enthusiastic science communicators who can ignite excitement in people of all ages and backgrounds. As the face of ORCA’s work, Ocean Conservationists bring dedication and commitment to inspiring everyone to take an active role in safeguarding the future of whales and dolphins.
