For nine weeks every autumn, Manx Wildlife Trust (MWT) sends volunteers to the Calf of Man to conduct seal surveys, to monitor the number of births and take a photographic record of adults, with the aim of better understanding the Isle of Man's seal population.
Manx Wildlife Trust is looking for two enthusiastic volunteers to part-take in the whole survey period and the following 2 weeks to complete the data analysis.
This is an exciting opportunity to study these unique mammals for someone already with or wanting to develop their photo ID skills.
The role will be based at the Calf of Man Bird Observatory for 9 weeks (starting 5th September) and then 2 weeks writing up at any location.
Tasks may include:
- Daily visits to pupping sights to count the number of births
- Photographing each pup with its mother (and all adult seals) and comparing photos with our existing photo ID catalogue
- Recording the developmental stage of the seal pup
- Monitoring mortality rate of the pups
There is some support for this role.
Accommodation will be provided on the Calf of Man and a £40 per week food allowance will also be provided.
