You don’t need to be a shark expert to volunteer with us but a passion for sharks is a must!

We welcome all levels of experience but we're not insured to have volunteers under the age of 18.

IN-HOUSE VOLUNTEERING

Unfortunately we don't have any current in-house opportunities. These positions are limited due to staff capacity and desk space. But from time to time we'll need help with data entry, proofing and other admin tasks. Due to the nature of our work in-house roles are office based.

If you're based in Plymouth (UK) you can always send us your CV for our file. We'll then get in touch if any opportunities arise.

OUTREACH EVENTS:

We attend lots of outreach events every year. It can be hard work to plan, organise and attend events, so we appreciate any help. This could be for you if you enjoy talking to people and want to gain experience educating the public about sharks. 

CITIZEN SCIENCE

Do you love the beach? Well here's another excuse to schedule a trip and help us conduct important shark research.

Around the British coast numbers of several species of skate have dramatically declined. We need your help to gather evidence that shows us where they lay their eggs. We can then work to protect these areas. Empty eggcases are often washed up on the beach and can be found all year round. Particularly after stormy weather.

Finding them is great fun and a little addictive. Be warned a trip to the beach will never be the same.
