PROGRAMME OVERVIEW

CCMI and Rutgers University invite students to apply for our Coral Reef
Internship programme. Participants will learn about principles of tropical
ecology, sustainability and management, through a combination of fieldwork
and lecture series. Students will finally develop and conduct a field
research project with a principal investigator relating to coral reef
ecosystems in the Caribbean. These projects will be developed into a joint
research poster that may be published or presented at a national or
international conference. Students are also engaged in data collection as
part of 15 years of active research by CCMI at one of the world's most
beautiful coral reef systems surrounding Little Cayman and the Bloody Bay
Marine Park. 

 

APPLICATION TIMETABLE

Applications should be received no later than March 1st. Registration is
limited so early application is encouraged. Scuba divers are encouraged to
apply, but non-certified participants are also accepted.
