“During my master’s internship at Mar Ilimitado in Sagres, Portugal, I had the opportunity to immerse myself in cetacean research, focusing on photo-identification techniques for bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus).”
Our Students
Ocean Lab is not only our physical space but also our state of mind. This is where our tours start, our ideas come up, and our projects get roots to grow. It’s our base. Where the team meets, and where we receive students. We also have a small informal collection of pieces that together make our museum a dream come true – all found at the beach, washed ashore, or brought from the ocean depths’ by our fisherman friend. Ocean creatures’ skeletons, shells, sea stars or even cuttlefish eggs are some of the things that you can find. Here you may also learn how we use every tour as an opportunistic survey to collect data on our marine biodiversity.
We can´t live without it and we aim to keep it blue: our ocean, our planet.
“I am Connor and for the past 2 years I have been working on a documentary called “The Planet We Call Home”. I reached out to Mar Ilimitado in summer 2024 to see if they would allow me to film dolphins for episode 6: “Chaparral Homes” (the mediterranean biome).”
“My name is Maria, I’m a student in the Marine Biology and Global Change master and I’m doing my internship in Mar Ilimitado, where I’ll be staying for the next year. I chose Mar Ilimitado because it allows me to apply knowledge in a more practical way as well as being inserted in a professional setting.”
“During the spring of 2024, I had the incredible opportunity to complete my master’s in marine science internship with Mar Ilimitado’s Ocean Lab in Sagres, Portugal. The focus of my internship was on developing an AI-driven platform with the hopes of revolutionizing cetacean photo identification.”
“I am a master’s student in marine biology, and I had the opportunity to complete a two-month internship at Mar Ilimitado during the spring of 2024. This placement was useful in enhancing my understanding of how a dolphin-watching company that also conducts scientific research operates.”
“I am a student in marine biology and I worked two months at Mar Ilimitado as an intern. This experience was amazing and it enabled me to learn a lot.”
“Hello! I’m Sarah Crawford, currently working on my masters in marine biology. During the spring of 2023 I was an intern at Mar Ilimitado working on their Orca catalogue.”
