[MARMAM] Hawaiian Humpback Whale Field Research Internship (College Credit)

[Chelsey Gloor]

Ocean Mammal Institute (OMI) is a non-profit organization that pioneers the way 
in two of the most important fields of study in the 21st century: Environmental 
Studies and Ecological Psychology (Ecopsychology).  Together we can turn the 
tide of extinction.
Dates: 2 Jan 2018 arrive, 19 Jan 2018 depart
Location: Maui, Hawaii
Internship title: Hawaiian Humpback Whale Field Research Internship

Internship description: Get out into nature in beautiful Maui and learn how to 
conduct field research on humpback whales.  Research the impact of boats on 
these magnificent mammals and how boats change whale habitat and behavior.  The 
reading material covers whale behavior, how humans affect that and all 
environmental issues around the oceans.  Additionally, we look at other human 
impacts on the oceans and how human psychology affects the decisions we make 
about the environment.  Learn how we can create meaningful change and raise 
consciousness about environmental issues.

An OMI research intern is expected to do the following:
1. Study the biology and behavior of humpback whales while you observe and 
record their spectacular behaviors.
2. Learn and apply the principles of field research design.
3. Gain a personal understanding of the politics of protecting endangered 
species.
4. Learn about current research on whales and dolphins around the world and 
related conservation issues.
5. Be introduced to the field of Ecopsychology, which studies the relationship 
between humans and the natural world.
6. Learn how we can create meaningful change and raise the consciousness about 
environmental issues.

What a typical day is like:
• As part of a team, conduct shore-based data collection. This involves 
tracking whales and boats with a theodolite and recording whale behaviors. All 
this is conducted approximately 4 hours every day in the Maui sun.
• As part of a team, plot and graph the field data daily.
• Read and discuss articles for the evening class. There are about 70 short 
articles in addition to the paperback text. Evening discussions are conducted 
every night and last approx 2 hours.

Additional requirements:
• Take 2 written exams (midterm and final).
• Write a team research paper using the field data your team obtained.

Living arrangements:
• 4 to 5 students in a beautifully furnished condo on the ocean.
• Condo’s have a full kitchen, living area, 2 bedrooms, and 2 bathrooms.

Administrative Info:
• Take this course as an Independent Study or Internship Course, through your 
college. If taking this course for credit you receive your credit from your 
school, not OMI.
• Arrive in Maui 2 Jan 2018, depart Maui 19 Jan 2018
• Price - $2850.00  (Includes rental of research equipment, transportation, and 
accommodations in peak tourist season.) This fee does not include airfare or 
food.

Requirements:
This is a basic field research course open to any college student, any major 
may apply.
Students must be able to walk up a hill and sit in the Maui sun 4 hours a day 
as they gather field data on the whales.

Application:
Online application is available on our website at:
