About Program
Join the team of MareTerra - Environmental Research and Conservation in Sardinia, one of the most beautiful and uncontaminated places in the Mediterranean Sea. Our headquarters is Alghero (North-West coast of the island) and our projects are carried out inside the Marine Protected Area of Capo Caccia and Piana Island and the Regional Natural Park of Porto Conte.
The staff of MareTerra is committed in helping students to become marine scientists.

- Population dynamics and conservation of bottlenose dolphin in Northern Sardinia (Italy).
- The ecological importance and conservation of the Mediterranean seagrass (Posidonia oceanica).
- Long-term research program for the study of the effects of tourism and climate change on coastal marine species and habitats.
