This internship program supports activities related to the research and conservation of marine mammal species (whales, dolphins, porpoises, sea-lions, and marine otters) that inhabit the coastal waters of the Eastern South Pacific. These species are monitored all year round by researchers and international volunteers. Interns are trained to participate in the rescue, rehabilitation, and biological follow up of sea-lions, dolphins, whales and marine otters following specialized protocols. This program is aimed at future professionals looking to develop a specialized career on the research and conservation of marine mammal species. Interns who apply through Volunteer Latin America receive special rates (discounted program fees). This equates to a saving of over £300 per month.
The internship program costs £375 per month (shorter stays possible). The fee includes accommodation, airport pick-up/drop-off, specialized academic and practical training, marine mammal identification field guide, t-shirt, sweatshirt, certificate of achievement, and much more.
