[MARMAM] Launch of the Marine Mammal Atlas of Oman

[CmsOffice.ae]

Dear colleagues,

We are pleased to share the launch of the Marine Mammal Atlas of Oman. This 
full-colour reference book is the culmination of 20 years of scientific 
research, providing a thorough geographical representation of the whales and 
dolphins that call the Northern Indian Ocean their home. Making an important 
contribution to the understanding of Oman's unique marine and coastal wildlife, 
the Atlas offers a rare insight into Oman's 20 species of cetaceans.

The Atlas is available to download from ESO's website- (click here to 
download)

ESO will be hosting a public event to celebrate the launch of the atlas on 
Monday 20th September 2021 at 5:00pm (Muscat time) and ESO would like to invite 
you to join. For attendance, please register at the following link:

[MARMAM] Sarasota Dolphin Research Program Internships - Deadline Oct 1st!

[Katie McHugh]

*Sarasota Dolphin Research Program Internships*

The Chicago Zoological Society’s Sarasota Dolphin Research Program 
(SDRP), based at Mote Marine Laboratory in Sarasota, Florida, conducts 
the world’s longest-running study of a dolphin population. The program’s 
primary goal is to contribute to a better understanding of the structure 
and dynamics of populations of small cetaceans, as well as the natural 
and anthropogenic factors that impact them. The SDRP uses an 
interdisciplinary and collaborative approach in conducting studies of 
bottlenose dolphins within Sarasota Bay, Tampa Bay, Charlotte Harbor, 
Naples/Marco Island, and the Gulf of Mexico coastal waters.  For more 
information about the SDRP, please 
visit:www.sarasotadolphin.org 
.


Starting with the Winter 2022 season, the SDRP will select volunteer 
interns through the Chicago Zoological Society (CZS) during three seasons:


 * Winter (positions January to April, applications due to CZS by
   October 1st);
 * Summer (positions mid-May to August, applications due to CZS by
   February 11th);
 * Fall (positions September to December, applications due to CZS by
   June 1st).

All internships must be a minimum of 10 weeks of participation, but 
ideally will run for 12-16 weeks. Please note that we typically only 
seek 2-4 interns for each session and that we receive many more 
applications than we have openings – the selection process is very 
competitive.Successful candidates will participate in the following 
research projects:


1)*Dolphin population monitoring project**:*(/YEAR ROUND/) This study 
monitors the resident bottlenose dolphin community in Sarasota Bay and 
vicinity. Duties in the field will include assisting with boat-based 
photographic identification surveys for dolphin groups during one to two 
weeks per month. Behavioral, location, individual, and environmental 
data will be recorded for each dolphin group, and additional data 
related to human-dolphin interactions will also be collected in 
conjunction with this project. While in the lab (at least 2 weeks per 
month), work will generally involve photo-identification of dolphins, 
computer data entry and double-checking, logging of videos into database 
and archives, dolphin dorsal fin identification catalog updates, boat 
and field equipment maintenance, and other duties.


2) *Dolphin prey and habitat use project**:* (/JAN-MAR & JUN-SEPT ONLY/) 
This study uses the Sarasota dolphin community and fish populations to 
study relationships between distributions of dolphins and their prey and 
factors that affect fish community ecology, such as red tide.  While in 
the field, work will involve sampling of fish communities through purse 
seining techniques and collection of other environmental data. Interns 
typically participate in this project 2-3 days per month.


3)*Other projects* (/TBD/) Interns may participate in other research 
projects, depending on availability and timing of grant funding for 
specific projects.Interns may also be asked to assist with dolphin rescues.


Interns should expect to spend about 20% of their time in the field, and 
about 80% of their time in the lab working with data, or performing 
equipment maintenance. There is no financial compensation for these 
internship positions, and successful applicants will be responsible for 
their own living and transportation expenses. Shared housing 
opportunities near Mote Marine Laboratory may be available.


Applicants would ideally have the following qualifications:

 * Minimum of 18 years of age and engaged in or recently completed
   undergraduate or graduate studies;
 * A background or degree in marine biology, biology, ecology, zoology,
   wildlife, fisheries, or a related field;
 * Basic computer proficiency in Microsoft Office programs (especially
   Excel and Access);
 * Excellent verbal communication skills, fluent in English;
 * Must be physically fit and able to swim;
 * Must be able to work effectively as part of a team;
 * Some prior field research experience preferred but not required;
 * Enthusiasm and desire to learn a variety of field and lab based
   research methods;
 * A willingness to spend a minimum of 10-12 weeks working full time as
   a volunteer with our program.

**

*To apply for a Sarasota Dolphin Research Program internship, interested 
persons should:*


1) Fill out an application form on the Chicago Zoological Society’s 
internship website (https://www.czs.org/SDRPinternships 
)


2) Complete and provide to CZS all required application materials 
including: a statement of interest, resume or CV, two letters of 
recommendation, and a current college transcript/. /Materials should be 
submitted via the appropriate links within the “Application Steps” 
section of this page
