Research volunteer - LAMAVE

Large Marine Vertebrates Research Institute Philippines (LAMAVE) is the largest independent non-stock non-government organization dedicated to the conservation of marine megafauna and the marine environment in the Philippines. We strive for conservation through scientific research, policy and education.

Volunteers are a fundamental part of LAMAVE, many of our projects rely on the hard work and dedication of volunteers from around the world.  As a volunteer you will be trained in research techniques which will prepare you to collect data towards long-term scientific goals and policy making.
