Dear all,
apologies for cross-posting
CIRCÉ (Conservation, Information and Research on Cetaceans) is a non-profit
organization which objectives are not only to conduct research on cetaceans,
but also to actively participate in increasing awareness and education of
the public on the marine environment. For this reason, we have chosen to
welcome research volunteers onboard CIRCE's vessel to assist the scientific
crew in their studies on the cetaceans in the Strait of Gibraltar and the
Gulf of Cadiz.
We are looking for volunteers from the 9th of January to the 5th of
February, to help us in a research project. The project aims is to
investigate the cetacean population inhabiting the Gulf of Cadiz. This
survey will be a visual and acoustic survey, and the target species are
common dolphins, bottlenose dolphins, harbour porpoises and killer whales.
During this survey, all the crew will be onboard the research vessel Elsa,
and will live onboard the vessel.
The volunteers will participate in the field and laboratory activities of
the project.
Main tasks:
-Conduct boat-based line transect surveys.
-Collect data on cetacean sightings and weather conditions.
- Data entry for cetacean sightings.
-Assist with photo-ID work and analysis
-Assist with the porpoise detector equipment.
No specific qualities are required, just a willing hand and a keen interest
so that everyone has an enjoyable and convivial experience.
There is no compensation for this volunteer position and the successful
applicants will be responsible
for their food expenses during the time of the volunteering. Volunteers must
arrange their own transportation to and from the research base in Pelayo
(Algeciras).The volunteers can stay in CIRCE's Centre.
