The NOAA Chesapeake Bay Office wants to connect people who are eager to explore a career in marine biology, oceanography, environmental education, and other related fields with professionals in these studies. The best job candidates recognize that hands-on work experience is the best way to build a resume, and that internships offer an opportunity to explore potential career opportunities.

These Bay-related internships include opportunities with NOAA as well as with other agencies and organizations, and are grouped roughly by area of interest. While many internships are offered during the summer months, some internships are available at other times of the year. For more information on any internship, get in touch with the listed contact person directly.
