Marine Mammal Field Techniques (MMFT) internship program in Puerto Rico, USA
Hi All, Please share freely with folks who may benefit from a field intensive training course aimed at building skills for field research. I am posting the Tropical Marine and Coastal Ecology Program on this email, in addition to the MMFT program, as both sessions offer valuable field skill training with applications for marine mammal research. The programs we have open for registration now include: Ø *Tropical Marine and Coastal Ecology in Collaboration with University of Alaska (UAS)* Southeast. May 05-12 (8 days!) This can be taken as an internship with MCERC, or for credit hours through University of Alaska. Ask for details for the credit hour option through UAS. Register through the Education Hub for the MCERC option (no credit hour fees, non-credit hour option). Program fee for the MCERC option without credit hours = $900.00 USD. There are 3 spots currently available in this session for people wishing to participate. Ø *Marine Mammal Field Techniques* (MMFT) program April 17-23, 2016. If you want to register for the MMFT you will navigate the “Field Intensive Programs under "Course Categories". Program fee = $1300.00 USD There are 6 spots currently available in this session. Ø *FILLED FOR 2016!!!* *Humpback Whale Field Intensive Program *(HWFI) (one week sessions from January through March, 2016). The HWFI program has its own Course Category on the Education Hub. This will be re-posted in August for the 2017 field season. Program fees cover course curriculum, transportation to and from all field excursions, all expenses associated with field excursions, 3 meals a day, and a bed in the field house in Boquerón, Puerto Rico, USA (steps away from the beach!). The program fee does not cover the cost of travel to and from the field house in Puerto Rico, USA. Details are posted in the Education Hub. The summer schedule has not been posted yet. Stay tuned for the schedule of programs coming soon! Travel for these sessions can be booked at any time after enrollment. We run sessions in the winter regardless of whether a session fills. Please feel free to book your travel when you are ready. *The “Travel Tips document on the MCERC website and Education Hub will be very helpful.* Thanks for passing this along!
