31. Coral Reef Internship, CCMI
Cayman Islands
The Central Caribbean Marine Institute and Rutgers University are
opening enrollment for their Coral Reef Internship in Tropical Marine
Conservation in Little Cayman, Cayman Islands. The program is aimed at
undergraduate students who want to develop their marine fieldwork skills
on pristine coral reef ecosystems.
Participants will gain experience in:
- Caribbean species identification of coral, fish, algae, and invertebrates
- Lionfish dissection and measurement, and experience with community
management efforts
- Water quality sampling and analysis
- Independent research project development
- Scuba diving (if certified prior to program)
The Cayman Islands are famed for their exceptional wall diving and
visibility, but the reefs on Little Cayman are particularly untouched ?
over half of the coastline is protected, and a small yet invested
population results in low environmental impact and high commitment to
conservation. Students will live at the Little Cayman Research Centre,
where they will work with researchers on projects relating to lionfish
invasion, effects of climate change on coral reefs, and reef monitoring.
Lectures on coral reef ecology, management, and global environmental
challenges will be integrated with field activities.
Participants will also develop their own research topic, and are
encouraged to continue this as part of a thesis or further study. Scuba
certification is suggested, but not mandatory. The project offers 4
transferable credits through Rutgers University.
The program runs from June 14th to July 2nd, and applications are due by
March 1st. For more information, please visit the Rutgers website below,
or view the program flyer. Please contact Tom Quigley, Education and
Programme Coordinator for CCMI, with any questions at
