Volunteering for participation in research at sea Very
rarely, Scripps investigators will ask the Birch Aquarium to refer
volunteers to go to sea and assist their research cruises. To be
included in such referrals, see the information on volunteer/internship
opportunities at the Birch Aquarium at Scripps above, and indicate your
seagoing interest when signing up as described there. More frequently,
volunteers who wish to go to sea proactively approach chief scientists
of cruises on Scripps ships, offer their services, and strike up
agreements for participation on those cruises. These chief scientists
may be from Scripps or from other institutions.
