MarAlliance invites you to immerse yourself in a once-in-a-lifetime experience on Lighthouse Reef Atoll’s Half Moon Caye in Belize. Join our team of marine biologists, guides and fishers for an unforgettable week, helping to research sharks, rays and turtles (marine megafauna). During this trip, you will experience the life of a tropical marine field biologist while helping us collect invaluable data on populations, abundance, density and habitat preference of a range of species of sharks, rays, turtles and large predatory fish such as snappers and groupers.

We will train you to be directly involved in each aspect of our fieldwork, in which you will experience an unparalleled underwater world. Snorkel surveys will bring you one on one with the Caribbean’s most exhilarating marine animals, including turtles, groupers, stingrays, and sharks. You will learn how to set longlines and Baited Remote Underwater Videos, with hands-on work tagging and measuring sharks, rays and turtles.

We are excited to have the opportunity to share our findings with you and the field work will be complemented by presentations by our research team during the course of the week.
