Would you like to join ORCA’s growing team of at-sea conservation professionals? We have an exciting opportunity to join our team of Ocean Conservationists in our 2023 Ocean Conservationist Training Course. With our unique take on marine conservation, ORCA is a charity that’s entirely dedicated to studying and protecting whales, dolphins and porpoises around the world. We work to identify and protect critical whale and dolphin habitats in our waters and beyond. What makes ORCA unique is our dedication to combining accessible marine education with our conservation activities allowing us to give ordinary people opportunities to take an active role in marine science and conservation. A key part of ORCA’s education and outreach work is the Ocean Conservation programme which we deliver across the world on board ferry and cruise ships. Working closely with our cruise and ferry partners, Ocean Conservationists work remotely at sea, inspiring thousands of passengers every year. The team will educate passengers on the marine wildlife around them during their voyage and show them the wonders of the ocean. We are looking for dedicated individuals to showcase the incredible diversity of wildlife that can be spotted in oceans around the world, helping guests onboard learn more about the marine environment. In addition to this enrichment work, you will also collect vital scientific data that can be used to help protect whales and dolphins around the globe. *The training course consists of a part-time online training course (October - February) and a 1-week in-person at-sea training course. This training will provide you with a background into ORCA and our work, how to collect cetacean data, an in-depth look into the Ocean Conservationist program and all the skills you will need to run a great educational programme on board* To apply, you will need to submit an up-to-date CV and a 2-minute video outlining why you would make a good Ocean Conservationist via this form <https://forms.monday.com/forms/7222e22dc78ccd13ffacbfbb84e69c46?r=use1>.
