Volunteer with Globe Aware - Costa Rica Sea Turtle Rescue

Volunteers will spend the week supporting scientists and research assistants in their fieldwork. Volunteer work will usually run from 7:30 am-3:00 pm each day. Globe Aware volunteers will collaborate with a grassroots organization established in 2010. This organization has formed a network comprising biologists, managers, community leaders, and educators from over 40 nations and territories. Their joint commitment is to achieve an integrated, regional capacity for the recovery and sustainable management of depleted sea turtle populations in the coastal regions of Costa Rica. Monitoring and tagging efforts must continue to gain a better understanding of different size classes, their roles in coral reefs, different habitat uses, and health status. This will include different tasks in four different working areas.
