Marine Conservation Virtual Internship - GVIA0713N

Our oceans are brimming with life, from massive blue whales to microscopic plankton. But every year, roughly 17.6 billion pounds of plastic is dumped into the ocean, the same as nearly 57,000 blue whales. Our oceans also support human life, from regulating the Earth's temperature to supporting livelihoods.

You will learn about driving forces behind the decline of marine biodiversity, and explore case studies illustrating bold and innovative approaches to global ocean issues. Case examples are drawn from government entities to NGOs, and from social enterprises to community-based organizations. (You have the option to work with our partners in Seychelles or Thailand)
