Join our Research Assistant team

We need a hard-working, self-motivated biology primary or similar, good team motivator, 21 or older, to help us with our sea turtle protection program here in Montezuma, Costa Rica.
You will get to live on one of the most beautiful and secluded beaches in Costa Rica.
Romelia Sea Turtles Conservation Project, conducted since 2009, has as a primary goal the conservation of SEA TURTLE populations that nest on the beaches of this wildlife sanctuary in Montezuma, Costa Rica. The project includes monitoring nesting sea turtles’ females, night patrols, activities of protection, and monitoring of the nests.

The lands at Refugio Nacional de Vida Silvestre Romelia exude beauty. It is a beachfront, bathed by rolling Pacific Ocean waves, guarded by iconic sea stacks, and inland nurtured by peaceful rivers and tranquil waterfalls. It is one of the peninsula’s last bastions of pristine wilderness.
During your internship, you will get to enjoy the rainy season, which not only gives you the opportunity of getting involved in the protection protocols of the nesting and hatchling of sea turtles. You will also experience different species of frogs as they emerge and sing. The most common ones are the giant bullfrog (Leptodactylus Savage) and the beautiful ” ed eye frog” (Agalygnis callydrias). Monkeys play a significant role in hauling monkeys (Alloutta palliata) and white face monkey Cebus capuchins, plus numerous kinds of birds as you stroll through our grounds. The night is an excellent time to spot bats and other mammals as they start their activity.
Romelia is a great place to enjoy and experience wildlife.
