*WORK EXPERIENCE VOLUNTEERS NEEDED-- *
*EXPLORE THE MARINE LIFE OF GANSBAAI, SOUTH AFRICA*
This whale season, we are looking for those interested in marine biology
and marine mammals to come assist on our eco-tourism whale watching
boat, Whale Whisperer with Dyer Island Cruises _www.whalewatchsa.com
<http://www.whalewatchsa.com/>_, in exchange for housing at our student
house and a food budget. Volunteers will get hands on experience of
being crew on sea and assist us with data input/various marine mammal
projects. We will train volunteers so that they are completely
incorporated into every aspect of data collection, photo ID, and they
will assist on any strandings - the works! Please view _www.dict.org.za
<http://www.dict.org.za/>_for further information on our ongoing
research projects.
Volunteers will need to commit to at least one month and a maximum of
six. Whale season begins in June and ends once the whales leave (end of
December). No need for a degree in biology, just a keen interest in the
sea and marine mammals (and a bubbly personality helps!). We only
require one or two additional helpers per month so space is limited!
Volunteers can expect many hours at sea and incredible experiences (we
are at sea 7 days a week, 2-3 trips per day). Preference will be given
to those who can stay the longest and those with prior experience.
Please consider your sea-legs before applying for this position. :)
We are located in Gansbaai, South Africa and can arrange transport from
Cape Town if necessary. Volunteers are responsible for their own
transport to South Africa.
Anyone who is interested or has questions, please do not hesitate to
contact me or applying by sending a CV (with Skype contact) at :
