Marine Mammals Research Association (DMAD) is accepting volunteers starting
from December 2015.
DMAD is dedicated to run marine mammal research and to increase public
awareness (specifically working with fishermen and in-need kids) in the region.
Despite the large cetacean biodiversity in the northeastern Levantine, there
haven’t been any long-term studies in the area. Therefore, we aim to fulfil the
knowledge gaps on marine mammals. This project provides an excellent
opportunity for post-grads, students and individuals interested in getting more
experience and knowledge in the field of marine mammal research.
VOLUNTEERS are responsible from behavioural data collection, theodolite
operation, photographing individuals and cataloguing dolphin/monk seal
pictures, data entry. Training will be provided beforehand. In addition, there
will be ArcGIS and SPSS courses running which will be free for volunteers
during their stay.
REQUIREMENTS
A biology background is not mandatory but advantageous. What is more important
is the applicant should be enthusiastic and self-motivated on marine mammal
conservation and willing to learn. Minimum commitment is one month, although
for a fuller experience we recommend two or more months.
This position is unpaid and requires a contribution fee of 500euro per month
which covers the accommodation and project related activities.
TO APPLY
Please send a cover letter and CV to [email protected]. For more information

Have a good day,
