Project Manaia is a sailboat based Marine Conservation NGO offering spots for (marine) biologists to join on board: Our work focuses on (but is not limited to) - Mapping habitats, with a focus on Posidonia oceanica - Marine mammal observations when underway - Marine debris assessments as well as beach cleanups and recycling workshops - replanting posidonia oceanica
But we also encourage participants to take on their own project with some of the gear we have on board including (but not limited to) - Sofar Ocean Trident ROV - Aerial drone - Hydrophone - Microscopes - Plakton net While we are a small NGO we do ask for a contribution towards the running costs of each person to cover the ongoing costs of the boat. This means 550 Euros per week for people from related fields, covering food, accommodation, lecturers, all gear and of course travel once on board, so in comparison I think a really fair deal. All payments are considered donations to a non profit NGO (based in Austria) and are (in Austria) tax deductible! For more information please check www.projectmanaia.at/schedule <http://www.projectmanaia.at/schedule> You will find the planned route and possible legs to join the journey. More information about the boat and crew can also be found there!
