SEVERAL VOLUNTEERS ARE MAKING THEIR WAY TO THE STATION TO HELP US CONTINUE THE PROJECT DESPITE THE PANDEMIC, WHY NOT YOU?

The Caño Palma Biological Station takes on hard working volunteers and interns to help study and protect nesting sea turtles.  As well, we continue our  incredibly important long term monitoring studies, like our focus on the great green macaws, river otters and many more.

We are now looking for experienced and unexperienced people who want to help us protect, conserve and study sea turtles.  Sea turtle season starts in May!



If you would like to come to the station, please write station@coterc.org . 

Internships & Volunteering



ABOUT THE STATION 

For almost 30 years, we have hosted dedicated researchers, students, volunteers, naturalists and other like minded people keen on conservation from over 30 different countries.  

​We are a unique privately run not-for-profit biological research station located in the tropical coastal rainforests of Costa Rica.  

We proudly run our own ongoing monitoring projects.  These projects are successful because of some extraordinary people who come from all over the planet to take part.
Visitors pay for food and accommodations, and work long hours, all to gain valuable tropical work experience.   We are so proud of the fact that so many of our volunteers have gone on to further themselves in the scientific world.  

We host independent researchers, providing them with a base from which to conduct their investigations and have been the part of some amazing publications.
