Aquarium Internship Program

The Aquarium Internship will provide valuable experience in several areas of biology while working hands-on with a variety of aquatic species and reptiles. Interns will learn the workings of small and large marine systems and the animal ecology behind each species. The Aquarium Internship is broken down into three different areas: Bony Fish and Invertebrates, Elasmobranchs, and Reptiles. Interns will spend time in each separate area and will be involved in different aspects of these areas, including guest programs, animal diet preparation, cleaning of animal habitats, narrating chats, and feeding and training animals. (All Gulfarium internships are unpaid, voluntary positions)
