Internship Opportunities
The Cape May Whale Watch and Research Center offers a research and education internship to undergraduates and recent graduates in the fields of marine biology, environmental science and other related fields. We have partnered with the Whale and Dolphin Conservation (WDC) and Whale SENSE out of Plymouth, Massachusetts since 2011 and have expanded our research program with our New Jersey Non Profit; Whale and Dolphin Research Center of Cape May.
