ESAS Survey Coordinator (part-time) at MARINElife - New Milton, England, United Kingdom
MARINElife is an exciting UK based charity established to co-ordinate and develop a growing portfolio of global cetacean & seabird research and monitoring projects. We carry out deep sea scientific research and educational work on whales, dolphins, seabirds and other marine animals in the oceans of North-west Europe. Our goal is to help conserve marine animals and to raise awareness of the threats they face amongst the public and policymakers. We work collaboratively with a wide a range of stakeholders involved in marine economic activity and resource management including shipping, fishing and tourism businesses, Government Agencies, and scientific research and marine conservation organisations. As a leading scientific data-recording organisation for Cetacea (whales, dolphins & porpoises) and other marine life, we have been carrying out work in the English Channel and the Bay of Biscay since 1995. Our longest running and original project was the Biscay Dolphin Research Programme, that was conducted aboard P&O Ferries Pride of Bilbao from Portsmouth to Bilbao. In 2005 we became a registered charity as MARINElife and under this name we run a number of other research projects. As a UK-based charitable limited company MARINElife now co-ordinates and develops a growing portfolio of global research and monitoring projects. Through these we aim to further the conservation of the wildlife of coasts and oceans through scientific investigation and educational activities.
