ReefDoctor Aquaculture Internship
Our Aquaculture Internship is on offer for those looking to gain fieldwork experience in community-based aquaculture and socio-economic development. This position allows people with a keen interest in this field, but with limited experience, to gain their first steps in this exciting but demanding discipline. We offer 3 month and 6 month internship positions, with the possibility to extend the internship or become a staff member upon invitation by ReefDoctor.
As an Aquaculture Intern, you will be supporting ReefDoctor’s Darwin Initiative-funded Alternative Livelihoods Project. The aim of this project is to promote the long-term survival of traditionally-fished marine turtle populations through the implementation of a bay-wide aquaculture project. This will assist in the transition towards sustainable marine-based livelihoods and provide a pathway to poverty alleviation within local communities. We are providing communities with the tools, resources and support to develop a robust sea cucumber and seaweed aquaculture program in the Bay of Ranobe with the capacity of providing guaranteed market access, food security, economic growth, and wealth for rural fishing communities.
What you can expect to undertake as a ReefDoctor Aquaculture Intern:
Data documentation and report writing.
Option to visit our satellite sites in the Bay of Ranobe; our satellite camps are in isolated communities and therefore living conditions are extremely basic.
