Your Contribution
Volunteers, Interns or Field Study students that work on this project are in a unique position to contribute to conservation, education and research initiatives in a location unlike any in the world.
Although scientific research is the pillar of the management and conservation of resources, the effective dissemination of information research is a necessity for the various species-specific and ecology-based research projects that take place at this organisation. Depending on the time of year you join the project, you will participate in the following components of the program:
1. Cetacean Monitoring;
2. Elasmobranch surveys;
3. Estuary Monitoring;
4. Estuarine macro-invertebrate surveys
