MareTerra Onlus is offering internships ( https://www.mareterra-erc.org/en/internship) to join research projects on the conservation of the bottlenose dolphins and marine environment between May and October 2024 in Sardinia Island (Italy), a hotspot of biodiversity of the Mediterranean Sea. MareTerra has been a self-financed organization, since its foundation in 2012.
On board our boats, interns will learn research methods to monitor bottlenose dolphins' habitat use, abundance and distribution (photo-ID, GIS and Species Distribution Modelling). Interns will collect georeferenced data on dolphins, fishing activities and boat traffic that impact their behaviour. They also participate in bioacoustic data collection. Our research projects aim to implement measures for marine ecosystem conservation and promote a sustainable and responsible management of fishing and tourism activities. Papers available here: https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1TegikzmahuAUeWMGS3AS-SlCS_s3I_hd?usp=sharing Working in an international and multicultural team, our interns will play an active role in environmental education to develop awareness and respect for the marine environment among tourists and locals on board our boats. Required skills: - Ability to communicate fluently in English (English level > B2). - Self-confidence. - Flexibility, adaptability to an international work environment and punctuality. - Good public relations skills. - Confidence on board a motorboat and ability to swim properly. - Minimum age 20, maximum age 30.
