The Hawaii Association for Marine Education and Research (HAMER) is a
not-for-profit organization dedicated to understanding and protecting
Hawaii's marine resources. Please visit www.hamerhawaii.com for a list
of current research efforts, staffing, and publications.
HAMER is seeking one or two interns to assist with data collection in
conjunction with the Structure of Populations, Levels of Abundance, and
Status of Humpbacks (SPLASH) project. Funded by the National Marine
Fisheries Service and the Humpback Whale National Marine Sanctuary,
SPLASH is a multinational, collaborative effort involving over 300
researchers working together to answer important questions about
Humpback Whales in the North Pacific.
Working alongside a Ph.D. researcher from the University of Hawaii,
interns will be involved with all field logistics. These include
maintenance of research equipment, collection and processing of marine
mammal sighting data, photo-identification data, and tissue biopsy
samples. Research will be conducted daily from a small boat during the
month of February, in waters off the coast of Kauai. Room and board
will be provided. Additional research off the island of Maui is
tentative.
Preference will be given to applicants with previous experience
handling small boats around marine mammals, and those with
photo-identification and biopsy training.
