<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846">The WDC internship/volunteer program aims to help participants hone their outreach and data collection and organization skills, while also gaining an introduction to all aspects
of working with a conservation non-profit organization. Successful candidates are included in everything from field research to office administration. All interns gain experience with public speaking by interacting with passengers aboard whale watching vessels
and participating in school talks and other public outreach events throughout the year. Additionally, interns will assist with written communication efforts including social media, blogs, and supporter directed communications. Other potential opportunities
include attending workshops/conferences and responding to stranded marine mammals, though <strong><span style="font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";border:none windowtext 1.0pt;padding:0in">these are not guaranteed</span></strong> opportunities. This program
exposes interns to real world experiences that will help them develop the skills and understanding needed to succeed in the field of marine mammal conservation 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.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
<p style="background:white;vertical-align:baseline;box-sizing: border-box;margin:1rem">
<span style="font-size:11.0pt;font-family:"Helvetica","sans-serif";color:#253846">As part of the field work experience, interns will learn species identification, behavioral sequencing, data collection, and photo identification research techniques on marine
mammals in the southern Gulf of Maine. They will also have the opportunity to go out on commercial whale watching boats several times per week (field season is April - October) 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 in the office will be spent uploading photos and data into our photo identification database or working on any tasks that may be assigned.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
