Fiji

I have a strong passion for sharks and their conservation, so I spent 3 months volunteering in Fiji. My role there involved survey diving, shark tagging, mangrove reforestation and much more. One of the main purposes was collecting data; whether that was the variety and frequency of shark sightings on dives, or for example the density of mangrove reforestation we achieved. All data was recorded and entered onto relevant websites or government databases. The results of my time there, and the ongoing efforts made by Projects Abroad, will help aid the protection of Fijian reefs and broaden local and global governments insight into the ocean ecosystems.

The Bahamas

After finishing education, I travelled to the Bahamas to volunteer for Gapforce. After an initial 3 months of volunteer work, as a credit to my drive and passion towards conservation and the project itself, I was offered the opportunity to complete a Divemaster internship and become the Research Assistant on the project.I worked alongside the staff team to help train volunteers in surveying coral reefs and marine life.One of the main focuses of this project was researching sustainable tourism, and how to make it affective in more remote islands of the Bahamas.
