Dette projekt tilbydes i samarbejde med organisationen GVI og nedenfor kan du læse deres beskrivelse af programmet:
Join a group of like-minded changemakers from across the world to live and work in Seychelles – a dreamy island in the warm Indian ocean. Discover the amazing world of island biodiversity and learn how to identify species such as tropical fish, lobsters, crabs, shrimps, squids and endemic birds. Spend your days snorkelling, exploring, growing your skills and hanging out with your new friends in the sunshine.
On our island conservation expedition in Seychelles, you’ll get the amazing chance to snorkel and see stunning reefs of coral, marine animals and fascinating coastal creatures up close. You’ll spot tropical fish such as parrot fish, angel fish, surgeonfish and boxfish (to name a few) and if you go a bit deeper, you might also see shrimp, lobsters, squids and pipefish. If it’s your lucky day, you might even get to encounter larger species such as green and hawksbill turtles and eagle rays!
On this expedition, you’ll join one of the longest-running marine and terrestrial data collection efforts with GVI and the Seychelles Parks and Gardens Authority (SPGA). You’ll play a role in a collective effort to help create critical conservation policies through research.
GVI’s Cap Ternay research station is situated close to the Baie Ternay National Park and Port Launay Marine Park, which are living treasures containing an array of ecosystems. From wetlands, seagrass beds and mud flats, to beaches, rocky shores, and some of the most beautiful coral reefs in the world.
As a member of the island conservation team, you’ll be involved in assessing corals, monitoring species like invertebrates, fish, sharks and dolphins through surveys. Or you’ll conduct mangrove and seagrass ecosystem studies. You’ll also help with biodiversity surveys, join weekly beach cleans or cleanup snorkelling dives, and assist with entering data from beach patrols into citizen science databases, and you might also deliver environmental workshops.
