  <description>&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Comoros&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;URL:&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;a href=&quot;http://sites.google.com/site/moidjio&quot;&gt;http://sites.google.com/site/moidjio&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Moidjio &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CRCAD&lt;/span&gt; is proud to launch a new season of whale, dolphins and Dugong monitoring.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;We are now recruiting volunteers to help out with ongoing research on the Comoros islands. We are looking for people to help with data collection and marine mammal spotting. Positions are available for any people interested in research and conservation of these fantastic species. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;We are a small organisation working independently of any &amp;#8220;gap year&amp;#8221; organisation that will overcharge you for volunteering for a good cause. We charge you what it cost us to conduct the research. We are a non profit organisation, working hand in hand with locals and in partnership with the Marine national park of Moheli. We&amp;#8217;ve been contracted to work for the &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;BBC&lt;/span&gt; and are very reliable and an ethical charity registered on the Comoros islands. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;In addition to marine mammals surveys, we will conduct marine turtles surveys (at sea and on nesting beach), sea-grass meadows surveys, mangrove surveys and conservation, coral reef and it biodiveristy surveys. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;It is an amazing occasion to get experience in research and conservation. The cost is of 300£ per week and for 4 weeks spent you pay 3. Groups are welcomed and additional deduction would apply. We remind you that we are not doing it for profit, none of us get paid, we give our knowledge to people for the new generation of conservationists!!! &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;We will provide you with a substantial training in cetaceans research, share our experience and joye of life and give you the opportunity to observe cetaceans in one of the most remote island of Africa. Moheli and Grande Comores are the forgotten islands of Africa with a phenomenal natural heritage. Cetaceans behaviour is very unusual and approaches with our experts are always smooth and ethical. We sometimes dive with whales and dolphins to record underwater footage for behavioural record. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;So if you planned to do something good this summer/autumn between August and Octobre please come and help us to research these unknown populations. Please visit our website for more details and do not to hesitate to ask any questions. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;You can discover us on facebook &amp;#8220; Moidjio &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CRCAD&lt;/span&gt; Moheli Comoros&amp;#8221; or please visit our website : &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Moidjio C.R.C.A.D. &lt;br /&gt;&#10;(Centre for Research, Conservation &lt;br /&gt;&#10;And Development) &lt;br /&gt;&#10;19 Rue de Notre Dame, 59670 Cassel, France.&lt;br /&gt;&#10;moidjio@hotmail.com or moidjiobeach@gmail.com&lt;br /&gt;&#10;http://sites.google.com/site/moidjio&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marinemammaljobs.com/job/325/volunteer-needed-for-august-september-2012-at-moidjio-crcad/&quot;&gt;Apply to this job&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

  <description>&lt;strong&gt;Location:&lt;/strong&gt; Italy&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Description:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Cetacean monitoring in the Ligurian Sea (North Western Mediterranean) – Internship 2012&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CIMA&lt;/span&gt; Research Foundation is a private non-profit research organization aimed to the advance of science and engineering in environmentally related fields, focusing on public health and safety, civil protection and the preservation of terrestrial and water-related ecosystems. &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CIMA&lt;/span&gt; RF is based in Savona, Italy, and it is seeking  4 interns for the field season 2012. This is a full-time position requiring a 5 months commitment from May through September. &lt;br /&gt;&#10;This internship is an excellent opportunity for undergraduate and graduate students interested in pursuing a career in marine mammal research to strengthen their skills and above all to gain practical experience in the field. &lt;br /&gt;&#10;We also encourage the use of this internship as the basis for the development of bachelor as well as master thesis.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;This is an unpaid position but &lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CIMA&lt;/span&gt; RF will cover expenses related to the internship like accommodation, food expenses, traveling to-from departing harbors. Interns will be responsible for their own travels to Italy. Housing will be offered in the Savona University Campus (accommodation will be in a double room with other intern). &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Interns will assist researchers during the whole internship, being directly involved in surveys at sea as well as in post-survey data entry. The projects aim to collect baseline data on the distribution and behavior of the eight different cetacean species inhabiting the Mediterranean Sea. In particular, interns will be responsible for data collecting and data entry of two projects:&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;i) Monitoring Cetaceans from Ferries – this project is held in collaboration with a national ferry company. Interns will be on board of ferries operating between Italy and Corsica / Sardinia at least twice a week and they will be responsible of the Marine Mammal Observer team working on the ferry. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;ii) Ziphius Project – this project is focused on the local Cuvier’s beaked whale population and it foresees weekly surveys in the Ligurian and Corsica Seas on board of a 18m long sailing vessel. Each survey usually last 2 to 4 consecutive days. Interns will assist researchers with data collecting, photo-id as well as actively participate in life on-board. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Interns will work equally on both projects. The internship foresees also a large amount of time to be dedicated to data entry and data analysis in the office. Because of the training required, applicants must be willing to commit to the project fulltime: all interns will be trained in cetacean observation and identification, in line-transect survey protocols and photo-identification. &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Qualifications : Applicant must be reliable, motivated and team oriented, have a positive attitude as well as a genuine interest in marine mammal science; Applicants should possess or be enrolled in a BS or MS course in biology, environmental sciences or a related major;&lt;br /&gt;&#10;Applicant must be adaptable and patient as fieldwork is highly weather dependent. This means a lot of data-entry work during bad weather and long consecutive days in the field when weather permits;&lt;br /&gt;&#10;Knowledge of MS Office software and data entry skills are highly desired; Previous experience in the field is advantageous but not required.&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;If you are interested in applying for this position, please submit a cover letter and your CV via email to Paola Tepsich paola.tepsich@cimafoundation.org&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Application deadline : 29th February 2012&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Do not hesitate to contact us for any further information!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.marinemammaljobs.com/job/317/cetacean-research-internship-in-the-mediterranean-summer-2012-at-cima-research-foundation/&quot;&gt;Apply to this job&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;</description>

The existing ID-Catalogue already counts over 70 common minke whales, 200 white-beaked dolphins, 200 humpback whales and 5 fin whales. &lt;br /&gt;&#10;Most frequently sighted species: humpback whales (Megaptera novaengliae), common minke whales (Balaenoptera acutorostrata), white-beaked dolphins (Lagenorhynchus albirostris) and harbour porpoise (Phocoena phocoena)&lt;br /&gt;&#10;Other species: blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus), fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus), orcas (Orcinus orca), sei whales (Balaenoptera borealis), bottlenose whales (Hyperoodon ampullatus) &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WHERE&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&#10;Faxaflói Bay is a bay facing Reykjavík city where both whale-watching and whaling are currently taking place.  Daily whale-watching tours are arranged from Reykjavik to spot feeding common minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, humpback whales, harbour porpoises and orcas. Elding whale-watching has been running whale-watching trips since 1998, with special interest in all whales visiting the bay. The company is member of Green Globe 21 and tries to fulfil environmental standards as well as certain whale-watching guidelines.&lt;br /&gt;&#10;Skjálfandi Bay is a bay facing Húsavík city where daily whale-watching tours are arranged to spot feeding humpback and minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, fin and blue whales and harbour porpoises. North Sailing is one of the two whale-watching companies running tours since 1995. &lt;br /&gt;&#10;Since 2007, Elding and North Sailing have been collaborating with the Faxaflói Cetacean Research project aiming to: &amp;#8211;      determine the abundance of common minke whales, white-beaked dolphins, humpback whales, harbour porpoises and orcas in the coastal waters of Faxaflói Bay &amp;#8211;      examining patters of residency using multiple photo-identification efforts &amp;#8211;      establishing sex ratio estimates via biological sampling  &amp;#8211;    analyse the feeding behaviour of common minke whales, white-beaked dolphins and humpback whales and data collected on associated bird species &amp;#8211;   determining population structure of the resident population of white-beaked dolphins occurring in the coastal waters of Faxaflói Bay  &amp;#8211;      assess cutaneous disorders on common minke whales and white-beaked dolphins during photo-identification surveys &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;WHEN&lt;/span&gt;:        &lt;br /&gt;&#10;Reykjavik area research period*: &lt;br /&gt;&#10;1st April to 30th May 2012&lt;br /&gt;&#10;1st June to 30th July 2012&lt;br /&gt;&#10;1st August to 30th September 2012&lt;br /&gt;&#10;1st October to 30th November 2012 &lt;br /&gt;&#10;1st December to 30th January 2013&lt;br /&gt;&#10;1st February to 30th March 2013 &lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;Húsavík area research period*: &lt;br /&gt;&#10;7th April to 30th May 2012&lt;br /&gt;&#10;1st June to 30th July 2012&lt;br /&gt;&#10;1st August to 30th September 2012&lt;/p&gt;&#10;&#10;&#9;&lt;p&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;caps&quot;&gt;CONDITIONS&lt;/span&gt;: &lt;br /&gt;&#10;In both Reykjavík and Húsavík, several whale-watching motor vessels will be used as research platform, for boat based work. In Reykjavik, living space for the boat based people is located on a former fishing boat in the old harbour, with 4 single rooms, bathroom, kitchen, living room and internet access (25 square metres); 10 min walking distance to the city centre. Internet access is also provided. &lt;br /&gt;&#10;Because of the training required, applicants must be willing to commit to the project a minimum of two months (longer stay could be discussed). Because of the training provided participants must be able to join the project one week prior to the research period starting date. &lt;br /&gt;&#10;Unfortunately, these positions are not paid and the successful candidates have to contribute with 350 Euros per month covering training program in scientific methods, scientific supervision, and reference materials related to the project including a certificate of completion (this price will cover accommodation expenses in Húsavík). 100% of fees support this research project and associated lectures.
