The Belize Barrier Reef is a rich and diverse location for an internship abroad! 

You will be staying on Tobacco Caye, a tiny four-acre island situated right beside the Belize Barrier Reef. Surrounding this idyllic island are teeming coral reefs, an interesting mangrove system, and endless seagrass beds. This is the perfect location to learn more about fish identification and coral reef surveying techniques while getting involved with our projects, including culling the invasive lionfish and making trash art from our beach cleanups. You will support us in the running of our study abroad program, international students visiting the island for an immersive learning experience. 

The price includes dorm-style accommodation with the opportunity to upgrade to a private cabana, as well as three meals a day, drinking water, and Wi-Fi.

This program is not just for students, but also for anyone interested in learning more about the marine environment and getting involved with our ongoing projects. We welcome everyone above the age of 18, including groups of friends and couples.
