2. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSULTANT, FL DEP
Tallahassee, FL
A regulatory support group in the Florida Department of Environmental
Protection that does permitting review and oversight of coastal projects
such as beach nourishment, channel dredging, and coastal construction is
hiring a benthic ecologist. Experience with surveying and monitoring of
hardbottom communities (including coral reefs), seagrasses, and
mangroves is required. This job requires high qualifications, but it is
not a research position. The position is challenging because of the
amount of work and deadlines, and requires the ability to process a
large volume of data in a short period of time. Field work (e.g., site
inspections using SCUBA) is a minor component of the job, but it is very
important for the evaluation of the resource impacts and to ensure
compliance with the permitted activities. Doctorate degree and at least
3 years of experience required.
Interested parties may apply at the site listed below by the closing
date of 1/31/14.

Sarasota, FL
The Sarasota Dolphin Research Program (SDRP), a partnership led by the

Sarasota, Florida, conducts the world's longest-running study of a

better understanding of the structure and dynamics of populations of
small cetaceans, as well as the natural and anthropogenic factors that
impact them. The SDRP uses an interdisciplinary and collaborative
approach in conducting studies of bottlenose dolphins within Sarasota
Bay, Tampa Bay, Charlotte Harbor, and the Gulf of Mexico coastal
waters.For more information about the SDRP, please visit:
http://www.sarasotadolphin.org <http://www.sarasotadolphin.org/>.
The SDRP is in the process of selecting volunteer interns for our Summer
2014 internship program (a minimum of 10 weeks of participation during
mid-May to mid-September, with applications due by March 1st).Please
note that we are only seeking 3-6 interns this session and that we

process is very competitive.The successful candidates will participate
in the following research projects:
1) Dolphin population monitoring project:(/YEAR ROUND/)
This study will continue to monitor the resident bottlenose dolphin
community in Sarasota Bay.Duties in the field will include assisting
with boat-based photographic identification surveys for dolphin groups
one to two weeks per month. Behavioral, location, individual, and
environmental data will be recorded for each dolphin group, and
additional data related to human-dolphin interactions will also be

conjunction with this project. While in the lab (at least 2 wks per
month), work will generally involve photo-identification of dolphins,
computer data entry, video logging, dolphin dorsal fin identification
catalog maintenance, equipment maintenance and other duties.
2) Dolphin prey and habitat use project: (/JAN-MAR & JUN-SEPT ONLY/)
This study will use the Sarasota dolphin community and fish populations
to study relationships between distributions of dolphins and their prey
and factors that affect fish community ecology, such as red tide.While
in the field, work will involve sampling of fish communities through
purse seining techniques, collection of prey fish for nutritional
analysis, and collection of other environmental data. Interns may
participate in this project 2-3 days per month.
Interns should expect to spend about 20% of their time in the field, and
about 80% of their time in the lab working with data, or performing
equipment maintenance.There is no compensation for these internship
positions, and successful applicants will be responsible for their own
living and transportation expenses during the time of the internship.
Shared housing opportunities near Mote Marine Laboratory may be
available (cost: $90/week). A few scholarships are available from Mote
Marine Laboratory through a competitive application process (US citizens

undergraduate studies;
A background or degree in Biology, Marine Biology, Ecology, Zoology or a
related field;
Basic computer proficiency in Microsoft Office programs (especially
Excel and Access);
Some field research experience preferred but not required;
Must be able to swim;
Enthusiasm and desire to learn a variety of field and lab based research
methods;
A willingness to spend a minimum of 10-12 weeks working full time as a
volunteer with our program.

persons should:
1) Fill out an application form at Mote Marine Laboratory's website
(http://www.mote.org/interns). Be sure to select "Sarasota Dolphin
Research Program" as your first choice;

information, exact dates and duration of availability, where you learned
about the internship
opportunity (/e.g. /Mote, SDRP, Brookfield Zoo website, MARMAM, etc.),
and that you have provided all application materials to the Mote intern
office, as detailed above.
All applications will be reviewed; those received by the application
deadline of March 1st will be given first priority. We are seeking 3-6
interns for the summer, depending on scheduling. These are competitive
positions - we typically receive many more applications than we can
accept. Applicants may contact Katie McHugh (941-388-4441 ext. 450,
