2025 Seasonal Positions

Great Bay Terrapin Project Student Research Internship (posted 2/27/25)

This is a seasonal volunteer internship located in southern Ocean County. Interns will be reimbursed for mileage or a fixed stipend for the summer. We are seeking 2-3 student interns for the 2025 field season.

Intern(s) will work with CWF biologist and seasonal staff and conduct hourly surveys on Great Bay Blvd. in Little Egg Harbor from mid-May to late July. Intern(s) will use their own vehicle to conduct fieldwork and collect morphometric data on adult terrapins encountered in roadways. They will also work with volunteers to schedule patrols and manage roads that are patrolled. The main goals of the project are to reduce road mortality rates, raise awareness of terrapins, and to educate the public about terrapins. Interns will also help enter and analyze data for annual reporting.

In addition, interns will conduct head count surveys of terrapins and may help monitor a large habitat enhancement area for nesting by terrapins. Nests are marked and covered with cages. Adults will be captured to be measured and marked before being released where captured. Site is located within main project area of GBB WMA in Little Egg Harbor.
