Dear MARMAM members,
Vivamar Society, is happy to invite you to the internship programme
ADIS: Ambassadorship for Dolphins of Istria & Slovenia project.
The project is dedicated to the research and conservation activities of the
vulnerable Bottlenose Dolphins off Istria, Croatia – in the heart of Europe.
The invitation refers to motivated students that would like to obtain hands-on
experiences in dolphin research and learn about the field techniques needed for
possible further career in the marine mammal science.
The available team dates are:

VIVAMAR teams are small and can therefore offer intense connection between the
team members and a focused attention of a main researcher to the students. The
program comprises lectures about the local bottlenose dolphin population and
its threats, Marine Ecology, Marine Mammals and other large vertebrates in the
Adriatic, boat based research in the field, including methods for data
obtaining, data analysis and possible engagement in Vivamar activities with the
key messages about dolphin awareness to the local people. The experience is
excellent also from the point of everyday life and your common attitude towards
the marine ecosystem. The cost for 11 days is 998EUR and comprises
accommodation, food and all ‘technicalities’ like is the equipment etc. The
nearest airports where you have to arrange own your flights to are either Pula
(Croatia) or Trieste (Italy) and taking a bus to come to the research base in
Istria, Croatia.
For all details about the project and further logistic questions, you are
welcome to send us an inquiry to <mailto:[email protected]> [email protected]
and receive a pdf with the programme. Or you are invited to visit
<http://www.vivamar.org/en/volunteer> www.vivamar.org/en/volunteer for a brief
overview.
In 2015 the goal was to evaluate the distribution and abundance of the local
bottlenose dolphin population from data collected since 2003, off Istria. In
2016 season the main target will be to define the threats and evaluate the
anthropogenic impact to the dolphin population. It is challenging but important
for these dolphins and their conservation. So you are welcome to be part of
this year’s ambassadorship for dolphins.
With kindest regards,
