Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre: Local Volunteering

Volunteering at Cardigan Bay Marine Wildlife Centre is a fantastic way for you to contribute to marine conservation, gain new skills, meet people with similar interests and experience our amazing marine life!

Volunteer tasks include:

• Land-based marine mammal surveys
• Boat-based marine megafauna surveys
• Running our visitor centre and inspiring visitors
• Entering and checking research data
• Analysing bottlenose dolphin photo identification images
• Analysing bottlenose dolphin photo identification images
• Assisting with community engagement events such as rock pooling
• Conducting beach cleans

We ask local volunteers to commit to at least 2 hours a week (Monday-Sunday), or more if available. Most of our local volunteers come in on the same day every week e.g. Monday 10am-3pm. However, we can be flexible with days and can work around your schedule. There is a minimum commitment of 8 weeks due to the time needed to train new volunteers. 

Please be aware that during the winter, between November and March we are only open on weekdays.
