The Namibian Dolphin Project is an organization run by several independent scientists based in southern Africa. We are running research internships in 2019 in Walvis Bay, Namibia and would like to invite students enrolled in marine biology, ecology and zoology degrees to attend. Interns will join an active research programme during an intensive period of field work aiming to tackle a number of research questions including long-term population monitoring (photo ID and static acoustic monitoring), behavioural acoustics of bottlenose dolphins (linking sounds to behaviours), behavioural and acoustic responses to anthropogenic activities and response to stranded cetaceans (refloatation/data collection). Our focal study species are Heaviside's dolphins, a small population of common bottlenose dolphins and humpback whales with additional data collection on right whales, sunfish (Mola mola), African Penguins, sea turtles, jackals and Cape fur seals. Internships are research focused with an emphasis on learning (and using) field skills in cetacean research such as photo-identification, acoustic and behavioural data collection, as well as data management and team work. There is a fee associated with the internship. If you are interested in this placement please send a copy of your CV and a letter of motivation to info@seasearch.co.za.
