Volunteer Opportunites Where You Live

NOAA Ocean Life Sampler

Climb aboard a NOAA research ship out of Woods Hole, Massachusetts!

Most bottom fish, scallop, and clam survey cruises aboard NOAA research vessels welcome volunteers on a space-available basis. This is a great way for those interested in learning more about NOAA's survey program to get hands-on experience aboard a research vessel.

Cruises are typically two to three weeks in duration.
