Join a Sea Turtle Conservation project in Greece which is now offering a two-week volunteering experience exclusively for teens aged 15 - 17. Join this hands-on project to learn about marine conservation and how human encroachment is affecting the marine habitats of the sea turtles. This project runs during the summer which is the time that sea turtles lay their eggs and hatchlings have to make it out to sea on their own. This project aims to protect turtle nests from humans and predators which give the hatchlings the best chances for survival. Volunteers will rotate between several tasks which can include: building and installing grids to protect turtle nests, collecting bamboo to build the grids, patrolling the beach and looking for turtle tracks and more.

Located in the heart of Greece’s Amvrakikos Wetland National Park, this internship places you at the center of essential marine conservation efforts. As a participant, you’ll actively engage in field research, focusing on the monitoring of sharks and rays—key species that play a crucial role in maintaining healthy marine ecosystems. In addition to species-specific research, interns contribute to broader conservation activities, including local fishery monitoring and biodiversity assessments through scuba diving, snorkeling, stand-up paddling (SUP), and the use of baited remote underwater cameras (BRUVs). No prior scientific background is necessary—just a passion for marine conservation and a desire to make a real impact.
