[Coral-List] Opportunities at Alligator Head Foundation - Jamaica

[Dayne Buddo]

The Alligator Head Foundation (AHF) is a non-profit organization established to manage and support the East Portland Fish Sanctuary – 6km2 of marine coastline located in Jamaica. The Foundation develops projects to assist the communities dependent on marine resources for their livelihood and to rehabilitate the marine environment located in the Fish Sanctuary. The Foundation uses marine research to drive the management of the Fish Sanctuary through programmes geared towards marine based ecosystem restoration within the Sanctuary. These ecosystems include but are not exclusive to mangroves/wetlands and coral reefs. The AHF has a formal agreement with the University of the West Indies (Mona Campus) to conduct marine research through the Alligator Head Marine Lab established at the AHF Headquarters. The science-driven management approach utilizes global monitoring protocols to assess and promote the health and success of the Sanctuary. The Foundation uses contemporary art, digital media, food, culture and music production to effect the protection and preservation of the world´s natural resources with particular focus on the oceans.

The AHF is offering 2 programmes:

- 6-month Volunteer Internship Programme: http://www.alligatorheadfoundation.org/volunteer-internship-programme/ <http://www.alligatorheadfoundation.org/volunteer-internship-programme/>
