SOUTH AFRICA / Global Vision International
Volunteers on this project will be assisting a renowned research team with their work on Great White Sharks. The project is located in Mossel Bay, at the start of the world famous Garden Route in South Africa. Volunteers will gain theoretical and practical training during the program and will attend classes to learn about Great White Sharks and their behaviour. Volunteers will also gain first-hand experience of some of the most exciting White Shark research projects; surveys of wounded and entangled seals on Seal Island and shore and boat-based observations of seal/shark interactions, manual acoustic tracking of white sharks, tagging and genetic sampling of white sharks, photo identification, recording and entering behavioural data. There are also opportunities to explore the local area, Cape Town and more.
