From the Field:
The Team
Caryn is the principal investigator (PI) and will be
in the field from January until the beginning of April and then
again from July until September. She has been studying the manatees
in Belize since 1998. Katie is the other PI but she will not be
spending much time in the field this year having recently had a
baby. She has also been conducting research in Belize since 1998.
Gilroy is the Belizean boat captain and field assistant. He has
lived in the Drowned Cayes for many years and knows the local waters
extremely well. Brian is a logistics intern from South Carolina. He
has recently graduated from Coastal Carolina University and will be
in Belize from January until April. I am a logistics intern from
British Columbia, Canada. I recently graduated from Simon Fraser
University and will be in Belize from January until April. The
volunteers come from many different countries and backgrounds and
assist with the project for two-week intervals. They pay for their
trip either through scholarships, corporate fellowship, or by
self-funding.
