    Over het programma

    Support marine conservation in the heart of the Algarve by joining a specialized research internship!

    Located along the stunning Portuguese coast, this program is dedicated to the ongoing monitoring of cetaceans – dolphins and whales – and other marine fauna.

    Marine research projects often operate with limited human resources, while requiring continuous monitoring efforts both at sea and on land. The demanding nature of fieldwork, combined with data processing and educational responsibilities, can place significant pressure on the core research team, so there is a strong need for additional support from motivated participants who can assist with observation tasks, data collection, and routine research activities under supervision, helping to ensure continuity in monitoring efforts and contributing to ongoing marine conservation projects.


    Learning outcomes:

    • Develop the ability to observe and identify marine wildlife in natural environments through both land-based and boat-based monitoring activities.
    • Gain practical experience in scientific fieldwork by supporting data collection, including sightings registration, behavioral observations, and GPS tracking.
    • Strengthen competencies in marine research methodologies and scientific monitoring techniques used in conservation projects.
    • Improve analytical and organizational skills through supervised research support tasks and basic data analysis.
    • Increase understanding of marine biodiversity, marine fauna, and key conservation challenges through theoretical learning sessions.
    • Learn to use technical tools and systems such as databases, GPS information, and photo-identification methods for managing research data.
    • Enhance teamwork, communication, and responsibility skills by collaborating with researchers and field teams in real working conditions.
    • Foster environmental awareness and active participation in marine conservation through direct involvement in research and ecosystem protection activities.
