Vivamar Society, founded in 2002,
is offering the intern opportunity in the research activity of Bottlenose
dolphins along the western coast off Istria, Croatia, in the heart of Europe.
This is an excellent offer to students that would like to, besides doing a
research, visit a new country, yet to help in conservation of the last
remaining marine mammals in the NE Adriatic.
The situation is interesting due to the growing anthropogenic pressures which
need to be reported and spoken out by research, in order to reduce/prevent a
subpopulation’s decline.
VIVAMAR teams are small and can therefore offer intense connection between the
team members and a dedicated attention of a researcher to the motivated
students. The program comprises lectures on Marine Ecology, Marine Mammals of
the Adriatic Sea, other large vertebrates in the Adriatic and their role for
the Marine Ecosystem balance, daily research on the field, including learning
of the methods, data analysis and possible engagement in Vivamar awareness
activities to the local people. Along the interns will learn how to prepare and
deliver the key messages, which might remain as a good learning experience also
for the everyday life and later for the employment.
The available team dates are (arrival & departure is within the week due to the
airfare cost reduction):
