MARINE RESEARCH INTERN PROGRAM

SEACR - Society for Ecological And Coastal Research, a Non-profit
organization, currently has spaces open for summer internships starting June
1999. SEACR works in conjunction with scientists and researchers from the
University of Victoria in British Columbia, Canada; and from Queens
University in Ontario, Canada. The research site is situated in breathtaking
Clayoquot Sound, on Vancouver Island, British Columbia.
        Interns will have the opportunity to assist on a variety of
ecological and coastal marine research projects learning valuable research
techniques and data manipulation. Current projects include studies on Gray
Whale Site Fidelity, and Habitat Use, Habitat Use of Seabirds in the Sound,
and Whale Prey Sampling.
         Clayoquot Sound is home to a variety of coastal marine fish, birds,
and mammals. Animals who frequent the area include puffins, oystercatchers,
gulls, bald eagles, sea lions and sea otters, harbor porpoise, killer
whales, gray whales, and humpback whales. Black bears forage in the
intertidal zone and are often visible from the boat.
