Marine Biology/Conservation: 

From 1st–3rd July 2025 (10:00–14:30 each day), Speakers for Schools is hosting a 3-day virtual work experience in collaboration with the inspiring organisations Incredible Oceans and Crustacean Compassion.

This is a rare and valuable experience that will give students meaningful insight into the world of marine conservation and the diverse career paths available in the sector. It’s so unusual to find quality marine work experience so I am so excited with this opportunity.

Throughout the programme, students will:

  • Meet and learn from professionals working in marine biology and environmental advocacy
  • Discover a range of career opportunities within the marine and conservation fields
  • Collaborate with peers across the UK on an engaging live project
  • Gain a deeper understanding of ocean ecosystems, species welfare, and sustainable practices

About the Organisations:
Incredible Oceans makes marine science engaging and accessible, aiming to inspire respect and responsibility for our oceans through science, art, and storytelling.
Crustacean Compassion advocates for the humane treatment of decapod crustaceans, promoting ethical practices through education, policy, and industry engagement.

We believe this opportunity will especially benefit students exploring science, environmental studies, geography, or animal care, and those passionate about creating a more sustainable future. Since it’s suitable for 14-19 year olds, it could be enriching as an opportunity for Year 10 for work experience or for older students completing animal management or biology courses at college – or even passionate geography students interested in careers in stewardship.

The employers are also very engaging and inspirational – as well as being dedicated to helping young people and recruit their future workforce.

The opportunity is currently live and there is a lot of interest. We are not running group bookings for this opportunity but there are numerous spaces available.
