Subject: [Coral-List] Internship Opportunity at Mote Marine Lab, Sarasota FL
**

*Are you passionate about marine science and ready to dive into
real-world coral research and conservation efforts? Mote Marine
Laboratory's Science and Education Aquarium's (Mote SEA) Coral Workforce
Development Lab is seeking a driven and enthusiastic intern to be part
of our cutting-edge Coral Health and Disease Program & International
Coral Gene Bank team.*

This immersive, 12 week long hands-on experience offers the chance to
work side-by-side with Mote scientists as we develop the best methods
for coral propagation and gene banking. As an intern, you’ll assist in
advancing coral production through research focused on refining
aquaculture techniques and developing species-specific care protocols.
 From coral husbandry and data collection to experimental planning,
you’ll gain meaningful, career-building experience in the world of
marine science.

This full-time internship runs from early to mid-October through
mid-January and is based at the Mote SEA Coral Workforce Development Lab
in Sarasota, FL. Weekend availability is required as part of the regular
schedule. A $3,750 stipend is provided to help offset cost of living
expenses during this internship. While prior experience in coral or
animal husbandry is a plus, a strong work ethic, curiosity, and
commitment to conservation are what matter most.

Take the plunge—join us in building the future of coral reefs.
