As a volunteer at UCME you will participate in a variety of diving, boat based, and terrestrial research activities currently being conducted at the centre. If not able to dive already you will be trained how to dive to internationally recognised standards and then given science training especially designed to teach you the skills you’ll require to collect important data sets. You’ll complete surveys on whale sharks and dolphin populations, take part in coral reef health appraisals, fisheries assessments, and mangrove studies, assisting biologists above and below the waves.
