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 fields. 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.

These Bay-related internships include opportunities with NOAA as well as with other agencies and organizations, and are grouped roughly by area of interest. Opportunities usually include fisheries sampling, data collection and analysis, habitat restoration, and communications and outreach. While most internships are offered during the summer months, some internships may be available at other times of the year.

Nationwide, NOAA offers additional internship and scholarship opportunities.
