Marine Policy InstituteCollege InternshipThe Marine Policy Institute (MPI) furthers the mission
of Mote Marine Laboratory by improving the connection between science and
society by providing timely, credible policy assessments and advice to
decision-makers and stakeholders. MPI develops, coordinates and
conducts research projects that seek to better connect the human dimensions of
marine ecosystems - the legal, economic and social aspects - and their
relevance for policy decisions.
Interns would assist in scientific and policy
analysis, track policy at the local, state, and national level and research and
report on marine policy measures and their impacts upon society. MPI is
actively engaged with each of the seven research centers within Mote. Initial
priorities include Florida
red tide, sea level rise, marine zoning, fisheries management issues and a
sustainable seafood initiative. Upper-level undergraduate, post-graduate and
graduate students are encouraged to apply. Interns should have a well-rounded
background in marine science, marine and environmental policy and the social
sciences.
Mote Marine Laboratory offices are open Monday - Friday, 8 a.m. - 5 p.m. MPI interns are offered a flexible, part-time schedule.
