Volunteers are needed to assist on a field research project in British
Columbia, Canada this summer studying the usage of the Robson Bight
(Michael
Bigg) Ecological Reserve by orcas (killer whales) and people.
When: The project runs from approximately June 20-September 10.
Volunteers
need to make at least a 30 day commitment and those who can stay all
summer
are preferred.
Where: The project is located on a small island (W. Cracroft Is.)
directly
across from Robson Bight along the north eastern side of Vancouver
Island in
the Inside Passage of British Columbia.
Living and Working: We will be camping on a remote island with no
facilities
other than what we bring in. The crew will camp in tents and work
outside
with rain and sun shelters available. The work will consist of recording
whale and boat usage in the reserve and adjacent waters from 8am-8pm.
Long
work hours in the field are to be expected, although time off is
scheduled
in as well.
Experience and qualifications: No experience is needed, although the
ability
to work well with others and being comfortable outdoors is essential.
Volunteers should be in good shape. The project is physically demanding
and
may involve hiking, carrying supplies and getting in and out of small
boats
in rough conditions.
Affiliations: The project is contracted out by the British Columbia
Ministry
of Parks Ecological Reserve Program and is currently being run by
Beaveridge
Contracting in BC.
