Job Description
Do you remember Winter the Dolphin or have you seen Dolphin Tale - that's us!
We believe in inspiring the human spirit through conservation and education. We conduct rescues of marine life, treat their rehabilitation and release these animals. Any animal at CMA is here for their forever home because they have been deemed non-releasable. We are a 501 C(3) so conservation education is at the core of our mission.
Clearwater Marine Aquarium is a working Marine Animal Hospital. We offer internships in marketing, business, marine biology, dive, marine mammals, aquatic biology, rescue, water quality, education, guest engagement, sea turtle conservation/nesting and sea turtle rehab, HR, and summer camp. Note: Some internships are seasonal in nature.
At CMA our internships prepare you for your future career. You get real world, hands on experience. Please reference our website at www.cmaquarium.org to see FAQ's about our internships and real intern testimonials. It’s not glamorous work. You do a lot of cleaning, preparing diets and more cleaning. But, you make a difference every day!
