APPLICATIONS FOR 2020 SEASEAL VOLUNTEER POSITIONS ARE NOW OPEN!
SeaSeal is our dedicated land-based, Atlantic grey seal photo-ID project. The aim of the project is to create a catalogue of individual grey seals in Cardigan Bay to discover more about their travelling habitats and areas that are important to them.
We are looking for one SeaSeal volunteer for the period of 23rd March – 3rd July 2020 and another volunteer for the period 29th June – 16th November 2020. Priority will be given to those that can volunteer for the full research season.
What You Will Gain
Undertaking the SeaSeal project is a unique opportunity for you to carry out marine mammal research and contribute to conservation. You’ll learn about the Atlantic grey seals of Cardigan Bay and gain experience in field work, wildlife photography, photo-ID, data entry, report writing and much more. This role can be a stepping stone to a career in marine research or conservation.
The Volunteer Role
The SeaSeal volunteer will conduct land based seal surveys, photograph seals, conduct photo-ID, analyse data and write the annual SeaSeal report. You can read about 2018 SeaSeal surveys here.
