Seal Pup Rehabilitation Internship
Island Wildlife Natural Care Centre is a registered not for profit
organization located on Salt Spring Island off the west coast BC, Canada.
We are one
of only two marine mammal rehabilitation facilities in the country and
operate under permits from the Department of Fisheries and Oceans, Environment
Canada and the Ministry of Water, Land and Air. IWNCC's focus is on the
rescue
and rehabilitation of orphaned, sick and injured Harbour Seal pups.
We have one immediate internship opening from mid-August until end October,
2008.
This is a volunteer position with housing and a grocery allowance. Interns
are accepted internationally and are responsible for their own transportation
to
and from British Columbia.
Interns work directly under marine mammal rehabilitation specialists and can
expect to learn and/or improve their skills in the following:
Safe rescue and handling of Harbour Seal pups; stabilizing critical patients
and new arrivals; diet preparation through all stages of the rehabilitation
process; gavage (tube) feeding, force feeding and hand feeding techniques;
proper hygiene and isolation protocols to prevent the spread of disease;
administration of oral medications; behavioural and medical observation and
proper
record keeping; general care of many other indigenous avian and terrestrial
species.
