| Description | We offer an internship designed to introduce individuals to the non-profit sector of marine conservation with a focus on the restoration of tropical coral reef ecosystems. During this internship you will be trained and certified as a coral reef restoration diver and will get fully acquainted with the daily operations of the foundation. The internship lasts 10 weeks and is a full-time volunteer position offering a vast amount of experience in coral reef restoration through participation in our community involvement, daily operations and field work- which includes maintaining our coral nurseries and outplanting corals onto the reefs.
For the internship position we seek individuals that are enrolled in either a graduate or undergraduate program, or are recent graduate students. Applicants should have interest in marine or environmental science/policy and share our commitment to the preservation of marine life and biological diversity.
