–Many thanks to Dida Kutz of http://www.blueplanetdivers.org/, for the tip which led to our being accepted here.
Our Living Collections team is looking for divers who would be interested in volunteering their time to help us on our mission.
Our volunteers have the opportunity to get involved in the community and give something back, while building their own knowledge, skills, abilities, as well as hands on experience.
Volunteer divers work in many areas of our operation and help with many aspects of day to day care and maintenance of such an undertaking. Here are just a few of the tasks that you may have the chance to complete while working with us at the Science Center.
* Educational Dive Presentations- full face mask with communications
* Animal Husbandry- Care and feeding of the collection
* Animal Training- Training of animals using advanced positive reinforcement and target training techniques
* Exhibit Maintenance- cleaning of the exhibit
* General Exhibitry and display – working with team members developing themes for exhibits and then making them into displays
* Kelp measuring and monitoring projects – inside the exhibit as well as in open water
* Collecting of fish, inverts, and algae for display
* Small boating operations- potential for training on our 32 ft dive/research vessel
* Outreach and other related community events
