Join this conservation project in Italy that needs a commitment of at least 30 days. The internship program is highly flexible but with possible last-minute changes due to the changing weather. 

Interns work 5 days a week for 6–8 hours per day, depending on whether it's fieldwork or lab work, as well as on a weekend if the weather is favorable. 

Fieldwork: Gain first-hand experience in collecting data on free-ranging cetaceans and improve skills in marine surveys, together with researchers onboard dedicated vessels. Usually, a survey lasts from 5–8 hours, is weather-dependent, and requires the use of binoculars for the most part. 

Office/lab work: Assist with transcribing and entering all the data collected on the field (on Excel forms), photo-ID analysis and matching, and QGIS analysis.

The internship also includes lessons on different topics related to marine mammals and marine fauna (biology, ecology, research techniques used, conservation, and more), which are led by the coordinators.
