Following 5 years of highly successful community-driven marine resource management initiatives in the Indian Ocean Islands, C3 has developed a strong regional network of projects and now has four positions available for interns to work on an international placement at both our Comoros and Madagascar offices. This will provide a unique opportunity to gain insight into the reality of coastal and marine biodiversity management in two contrasting developing island nations. With the chance for hands-on socio-economic and ecological field research, capacity-building for local partner institutions, design and implementation of social marketing campaigns and a chance for keen writers to publish research findings, this internship provides a well-rounded and practical experience perfect for building a career in international marine conservation.

Candidates should send in a CV and brief cover letter to Patricia Davis : vacancies@c-3.org.uk

Limited places are available from July 2010, year-round. See www.c-3.org.uk/internships.php for more details and please read the Internship Brief before applying.

Financial assistance may be available for applicants with sea turtle monitoring experience.
