MCBI’s Government Affairs office in Washington DC works on policy research and advocacy on a variety of marine issues, including preserving Hawaii’s marine ecosystems, deep sea corals and seamounts conservation, marine protected areas such as marine sanctuaries, and combating destructive fishing practices such as bottom trawling. Past interns have found the internship useful in narrowing their focus/interest in marine issues and learning about lobbying and the legislative process, particularly how to package science information for decision makers.
Compensation - Interns are expected to work 40 hours per week. The internship is unpaid. No benefits or relocation costs are provided, except standard holidays falling during the internship term. We are willing to work with interns and their universities to obtain academic credit for internship work.
