Dear all, We are pleased to announce that we are now taking applications for residential internships with us in 2017! Interns are invited to assist the Sea Watch Foundation with the running of the "Cardigan Bay Monitoring Project". The project is based in New Quay, West Wales, and supports the conservation management of the bottlenose dolphin, harbour porpoise and grey seal populations of Cardigan Bay, monitoring their abundance, distribution, reproductive success and population structure using a combination of vessel-based, land-based and acoustic surveys. Sea Watch has been monitoring these populations on behalf of the Welsh government (through funding provided by Natural Resources Wales) for over a decade. Cardigan Bay contains Britain's largest coastal population of bottlenose dolphins, for which two special areas of conservation have been established under the EU Habitats Directive. There are three roles available; Research Assistant, Education and Outreach Assistant and Research Intern. To find out more about each role and to apply, please visit our webpage <http://www.seawatchfoundation.org.uk/internships/> . The application deadline is 8th Jan for the Research Assistant role and 15th Jan for the other roles. We look forward to hearing from you!
