Shark & Marine Research Institute: Volunteer Program

We encourage early career scientists, post grad marine biology students and anyone with a burning passion for ocean conservation to join our research team to get hands on experience in the various research projects we conduct. From our dorsal fin identification project, carried out in collaboration with the University of Stellenbosch, to snorkeling surveys in our local kelp forests - to ethical angling, tagging and release methods to genetic sampling techniques.
