Manatee Internships
The Marine Mammal Subsection offers a variety of manatee internships including positions that work on photo identification and GIS projects in St. Petersburg, as well as positions that assist field stations with manatee rescue, carcass salvage, and research in other areas around the state.
Interns' primary responsibilities are assisting with various
GIS-related tasks related to ongoing projects by FWRI scientists in
their research on manatee ecology and behavior.
FWRI's manatee photo-identification research focuses on the long-term monitoring of Florida manatees in southwest Florida. The primary goal of our program is to document individual manatees.
Interns will assist with manatee rescue, carcass salvage, and research in South Florida.
Interns will assist with manatee rescue, carcass salvage, and research for ten counties in southwest Florida.
