The Ocean Mammal Institute takes 30-40 interns every year to spend 3 weeks in the hot Maui sun learning how to conduct field research on the humpback whale. No experience is necessary! Interns come from ALL majors and ALL college age ranges.
Our objectives are to change people's awareness, help them feel their connection to the natural world, and to protect ocean mammals. We believe efforts to protect a specific species are an effective way to address the abstract issues of biodiversity and ecosystem protection. Consequently our programs have three goals:
1. To study the impact of human marine activities including noise pollution on whales and dolphins.
2. Apply the results of our research to protecting marine mammals and their environment.
3. Educate people about important conservation issues and empower them to act responsibly.
Come to this session to learn how you can spend your winter break in Hawaii!
