This internship is designed to give students a dynamic educational experience in the marine mammal field while offering valuable career experience. Students will be responsible for a number of support tasks with dolphins and sea lions, working very closely with the animal care and training staff. The internship is offered on a competitive basis to college students in good academic standing. The internship is also open to recent graduates.
Interns participate in a number of tasks in support of the dolphin and seal lion programs.
Daily intern tasks usually include diet preparation, deck and boat scrubbing, and equipment and facility maintenance. Interns will also have with opportunity to assist in husbandry training, open ocean training, animal physicals, and numerous research projects. Prior experience is recommended, but not required. Interested students are encouraged to contact Dru Clark requesting detailed program and application information. I will begin to review applications for the summer semester in mid March.
