Humpback whale volunteer program in Tofo, Mozambique
This research volunteer program is organized by Odyssea (www.odyssea.lu
<http://www.odyssea.lu/>) and Underwater Africa (www.underwaterafrica.com
<http://www.underwaterafrica.com/>) and takes place from July 15th till
September 15th 2017 in Tofo, Mozambique. The normal duration of the program is
2 weeks but can be extended. The aim of the program is to introduce volunteers
to humpback whale research techniques in the field. Volunteers will gain first
hand experience in photo-identification, behavioural data acquisition, drone
handling, acoustics and biopsy sampling. This is a unique opportunity to learn
these skills in the field.
In addition, volunteers will have the opportunity to scuba dive (scuba lessons
available) and snorkel in order to participate in whale shark and manta ray
research. Our scientists have also just started a bull shark research program.
