Marine Conservation Volunteering
If you have a passion for marine animals and appreciate the importance of the world’s oceans for the planet’s entire ecosystem, then you should consider becoming a marine conservation volunteer. With humans increasingly using the ocean as a dumping ground for waste, pollution is a growing problem, along with unsustainable tourism and over-fishing. This means that marine conservation efforts are needed now more than ever – and you can help by volunteering with these stunning marine animals!
When it comes to marine volunteering, The Great Projects will have you spoiled for choice – whether it be whale watching in the Azores, cage diving with great whites in South Africa, swimming with whale sharks in the Maldives or conducting research whilst scuba diving in the world-famous Raja Ampat. All you have to do is pick your cause!
You can help to protect aquatic animals all over the world, so learn more about our marine conservation volunteer opportunities and get in touch today!
