<p>Plymouth, MA</p>
<p> </p>
<p>WDC North America (NA), located in Plymouth,
Massachusetts, offers internships and field volunteer
positions, providing research, policy, education and
administration experience in working for an
international non-profit organization. The positions

year, allowing each participant/student to customize
their learning experience based on their interest,
skill set, and availability. Successful applicants
will become proficient at field data collection,
educational outreach, and conservation of marine
mammals. Interns must complete a focused project
furthering professional development.
</p>
<p> </p>
<p>The focus of the WDC internship/volunteer programs is
to give participants exposure to all aspects of
working with a conservation non-profit organization.
Successful candidates are tasked with everything from
field research to office administration. All interns
gain experience with public speaking by interacting
with passengers aboard whale watching vessels,
participating in school talks and other public
outreach events. Other opportunities include writing
blogs, water sampling, and responding to stranded
animals. This program exposes interns to real world
experiences that will help them develop skills and
understanding needed to succeed in the field of marine
mammal conversation and research. Participants will
gain an in-depth perspective of this field and a
better understanding of where their interests lie.
Through this internship, a number of skills are
developed including analytical, organizational,
interpersonal, and communication skills.As part of the
field work experience, interns will learn species
identification, behavioral sequencing, data collection
and photo identification research techniques on whales
in the Gulf of Maine. They will also have the
opportunity to go out on whale watching boats several
times a week to photograph and record sightings of
humpback, finback, and minke whales as well as other
notable marine wildlife. The frequency of fieldwork is
weather dependent. Days not in the field will be spent
at the office uploading photos and data into our photo
identification database or working on any projects
that might be assigned. Based on time of year and the
interest level of successful applicants, the intern
program may include all or some portion of the
following:
</p>
<p>Education and Outreach </p>
<p>* Whale Watch Naturalist Training. * Outreach to
local schools and the general public. * Assisting with
and learning about the importance of ecotourism and
best practices. * Writing blogs about the work

<p>Conservation * Supporting WDC personnel at key
conservation meetings. * Literature research for
written and oral comments submitted to federal

will be able to leave with a comprehensive
understanding of both the exciting and routine aspects
of what it takes to research and conserve marine
mammals. There is no fee or compensation for the
internship/volunteer positions. Participants must
arrange for their own transportation to and from
Plymouth and provide their own food. Limited housing
with a shared bedroom is available on site for a
