Volunteering – Utila Centre for Marine Ecology

Utila Centre for Marine Ecology (UCME) is a Honduran registered non-governmental organization that bridges the gap between applied scientific research and community based conservation. Partnering with national and international Universities and regional Institutions, UCME conducts and supports progressive research to further our understanding of marine and island ecosystems and the biodiversity they support.

Volunteers are invited to assist UCME scientists with the running of the cetacean research based in Utila, Bay Islands, Honduras. The volunteers will help with boat based cetacean surveys and photo-id studies, database entries, awareness raising and education initiatives.

For more information on UCME research and the volunteer programmes, please visit our website www.utilaecology.org or contact us at cetaceans@utilaecology.org
