MarAlliance invites you to immerse yourself in a once-in-a-lifetime experience on the northern barrier reef of Belize on Ambergris Caye. 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 biologist while helping us to 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.
