MarAlliance invites you to immerse yourself in a once-in-a-lifetime experience among the incredible islands and waters of Cabo Verde. Join our team of marine biologists, guides and fishers for an unforgettable week helping to research critically endangered sharks, rays, turtles and other charismatic marine megafauna. You will be on the front line of marine megafauna monitoring and directly contribute to the conservation of these iconic species within Cabo Verdean waters.

Dr. Rachel Graham and her team will train you to be directly involved in each aspect of field work, including launching Baited Remote Underwater Videos (BRUVs), conducting in-water snorkel surveys, setting longlines with hands-on work to capture, measuring and tagging sharks, and mega-planktivore (whale shark & manta rays) monitoring, where you will swim with and witness satellite tagging of the biggest fish in the world!

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.
