Do you want to gain hands-on experience in whale research, data collection, educational techniques, and helping protect marine life? Does meeting guest lecturers in the expansive field of marine biology sound like a great way to make connections? Do you care about the environment and want to assist with beach cleanups? Do you want to change the future by interacting with children at school programs and at our lively Blue Ocean Discovery Center? If YES is the answer, this is the right internship for you! The ideal candidate will be outgoing, enthusiastic, detail oriented and have a strong desire both to learn and teach. A desire to practice or improve public speaking skills is essential. Background knowledge of biology is helpful, but prior experience is not necessary. Although all training is provided and weekly meetings are required, we are looking for motivated individuals who have the ability to learn on their own and work independently in addition to working with our staff.
