Program information

Located on the small, remote tropical island Mahe, Seychelles, our wildlife research fellowship program gives you exclusive access to protected habitats, scientific data sets, expert mentors and practical field experience to support your dissertation or research project. All marine research activities are conducted through snorkel-based surveys, not diving. You’ll contribute to one of GVI’s flagship research initiatives or explore your own research focus across diverse coastal and island ecosystems, from mangroves and marshlands to coral communities and marine megafauna like sea turtles.
