Research Experience

Each year Saving the Blue supports a number of sponsored research assistant positions. Successful applicants join our team for six nights hands on research, in addition to supporting our outreach efforts. These positions are open to everyone, however priority is given to minority groups, youth, service members, and veterans and their families.

Success

For this particular position Saving the Blue offered the experience to local Bahamian, and marine science student, Khrys. Khrys’s creative, fun and upbeat personality was warmly welcomed by our team. In addition, Khrys demonstrated an appetite for marine research with a passion to learn and work hard! During our weeks expedition Khrys went from strength to strength. Taking data, securing sharks, measuring, tagging, and more. Khrys became extremely skilled in a variety of duties he thought he may never experience! Saving the Blue sponsored Khrys’s position, and in return was rewarded with an exceptional team player who truly thrives in a marine setting.

Be the change

It’s important to us that every person be given an opportunity to join a trip like this. If you or someone you know would like to be considered, or if perhaps you would like to sponsor a position on an expedition, please reach out, we’d love to hear from you! contact@savingtheblue.org
