RUTGERS CORAL REEF INTERNSHIP - Application portal now open!
The Central Caribbean Marine Institute and Rutgers University have a limited number of places still open for their Coral Reef Internship in Little Cayman, Cayman Islands, running from July 25th to August 11th 2016. The program is for undergraduate students who want to develop their marine fieldwork on pristine coral reef ecosystems and offers 4 transferable university credits.
There are some videos that might interest you – an aerial view of the station, some testimonials from previous participants, and a longer look at the research and education work that CCMI does in the Cayman Islands (the film is a little out of date now). Here also is a link to some frequently asked questions about the Little Cayman Research Centre. A number of last year’s participants have also offered to talk to anyone, so I can put you in touch with them if you would like to hear about their first-hand experience.
Any more information about the program can be found online on the Rutgers portal, and applications will be approved through their system.
If you have any further questions regarding the course or life on Little Cayman, please don’t hesitate to contact me at tsparke@reefresearch.org.
