Travel to Curieuse, an island surrounded by the Curieuse Marine National Park, where you can join in conservation activities to protect green sea turtle hatchlings, study the hawksbill sea turtle’s nesting behavior, and collect data on sickle fin lemon sharks for an active catch-and-release project. 

Learn directly from experienced conservationists on how to conduct beach profiling surveys to combat coastal erosion, tag and track lemon sharks to record their growth rate, and collect sea-turtle shell measurements to determine the age and size of the turtles. You’ll be directly contributing to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (UN SDG) 14: Life Below Water, and Goal 15: Life on Land.
 
In your free time, you could visit nearby islands, snorkel in warm clear waters, hike to access panoramic views, and meet people of varying nationalities.

To be an eligible volunteer, you will need to: 
- Be able to swim and be physically fit
- Be able to work as part of a team
- Have a strong interest in wildlife and conservation
- Be very enthusiastic, adventurous, have a good sense of humour and respectful of the host country's environment and culture
