Reef Restoration InternshipParticipants in the Reef Restoration Program will work on both the coral culture and coral restoration project. Most of the work is on cultured corals in the coral gene bank tanks. Work includes general aquarium maintenance and feeding, and also taking digital photos and using a computer program to measure growth from these photos. There may be an opportunity for field work, depending on the intern's SCUBA and/or snorkeling skills. The opportunity also exists, if the intern has an interest, to help with the Eco-Discovery Center's Key West Living Reef exhibit of live hard and soft corals and fish for education and outreach to the public.
Hours are typically Mon-Fri, 8am - 5pm, with the possibility of long hours and weekends.
Note: Housing is sometimes available at our Summerland Key facility for a reasonable rate, usually during fall and spring internship sessions. During the summer session or if the facility is full, interns will be responsible for finding their own housing. Interns must also have their own transportation.
