We still have remaining places on our 2014 "Whales and dolphins of the Moray Firth" field course in Scotland this summer The CRRU field courses are run in the form of a training / educational placement, with formal lectures, seminars and presentations by the research team, practical training in field methodologies and data collection and analysis, and direct participation in the research, education and rescue work of this dynamic and outgoing conservation charity. The cost for an 11 day internship in 2014 is £895, and this will cover you for full board (all your accommodation and food costs), your full equipment needs and ALL associated field costs during your stay with us in the heritage fishing village of Gardenstown in Banff, Aberdeenshire. You'll simply need to arrange your own travel itinerary to us in Banff, Scotland (nearest airport Dyce, Aberdeen, approx. 1½ hours from the field base by coach) plus any personal spending money. For full details and available dates, please visit the CRRU project page at www.crru.org.uk/join_the_team.asp, or email us directly at info@crru.org.uk for further information and a pdf copy of the project briefing and booking/application form. Founded in 1997, the CRRU boasts over 70 scientific publications to date ( <http://www.crru.org.uk/publications.asp> http://www.crru.org.uk/publications.asp). In cooperation with universities, research institutions and other environmental organisations, current studies focus on the key coastal cetacean species frequenting the outer Moray Firth in NE Scotland - namely the bottlenose dolphin, harbour porpoise and the minke whale -providing robust scientific data for the adoption of management measures and effective conservation strategies for their future protection.
