The Marine and Coastal Conservation project researches and monitors the large seagrass meadows and sand dune systems that can be found around the beautiful island of Kefalonia in Greece.

Volunteers get involved in hands on research, exploring and assessing the sand dunes on land and through drone surveys, and in-water snorkelling surveys of the seagrass meadows. Volunteers help to keep the beaches clean, recording plastics and other debris and collecting for disposal or recycling.

You’ll be living on the friendly island of Kefalonia, with its sandy beaches, rugged scenery and surrounded by the warm crystal blue waters of the Ionian Sea.

Join the team and help protect these critical ecosystems that are so important maintaining biodiversity as well as tracking and mitigating climate change.

Available for volunteers aged 18 years + for 2-6 weeks.

Flights are not included in the volunteer fee. Full details on the volunteer role, location, what’s included and what isn’t included can be found on the Pod project webpage in the link.
