<span lang="EN">The Center for Coastal Studies (CCS), a nonprofit institution dedicated to the understanding and protection of our coastal environment and marine ecosystems, is seeking a seasonal intern in the Right Whale Ecology Program from 04 January ˇV 26
May 2022. This long-term project focuses on documenting the abundance, distribution and behavior of North Atlantic right whales and their food resource in Cape Cod Bay and adjacent Massachusetts waters.The intern will be the primary vessel observer for the
project and will participate in research cruises up to four days a week. Fieldwork responsibilities include photographing critically endangered North Atlantic right whales, collecting behavioral and environmental data, recording other sighting events (species,
vessels, and fishing gear), and working with a habitat research team both in the field and office. Office responsibilities include photo-analysis (downloading images, inputting sightings information, matching individuals to known animals using an online and
in-house catalog, cataloging), database entry and maintenance, assisting the aerial team and maintaining vessel field equipment.<o:p> </o:p></span></p>

<span lang="EN">CCS has a long history of conservation and research work with the North Atlantic right whale and Cape Cod Bay has been a major critical habitat for over 50% of the estimated population in recent years. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone
wishing to expand their skills in marine mammal survey techniques, and will offer the successful applicant the unique chance to work with one of the worldˇ¦s most endangered cetaceans. This internship will afford the successful applicant an invaluable opportunity
to work within a well-established institution, with highly-qualified scientists, and to gain experience in photo-identification, matching, and data entry and analysis. Experience in oceanographic sampling can also be gained. Details of our work can be found
