Project Description
The Large Marine Vertebrates Project Philippines was set up to study, conserve and protect threatened large marine vertebrate species of the Bohol Sea. Through volunteers we gather scientific data and involve local communities in conservation action.
Our programs provide a unique opportunity for volunteer research assistants and interns to gain measurable skills in fieldwork and survey methods, as well as gain knowledge in marine animal biology and ecology. Our volunteers will have a chance to be part of a conservation project actively working within the local community to achieve a sustainable tourism industry that will both benefit the local stakeholders and have an impact on the protection of endangered species.
We are currently accepting volunteers for our whale shark projects in Cebu and Leyte, and for our devil rays fisheries project in Bohol. Interested individuals may send their CV and cover letter to volunteer@lamave.org. We will send successful applicants a comprehensive a volunteer pack with more detailed information about the project.
