If that might be OK for you, then consider volunteering with us. The deployment is for 90 days. July 13 to Oct 11th 2013.
The campaign is targeting pirate fishing fleets that wreak havoc along the coasts of West Africa and Latin America. At the core of the unit is a group of ex special forces who work with government sanction on catching illegal fishing vessels operating inside territorial waters.
There is also a film crew documenting the missions and telling the story of what is really happening in the fisheries of developing countries.
Your job will be to assist the tactical team and film crew to make their jobs easier. The camp will have 25 people – you will be just one of an amazing group of people who give a shit about the planet and who want to help it.
If you have a decent skill set then tell us about it. We want people who can contribute in various ways, rather than just a warm body to eat, shit and sleep. If you have maritime skills, UAV skills, Operational skills… then tell us.

Send us a letter (maximum 2 pages) of what skills you have and why you would make a good addition to the team. applications should be sent to pete@earthrace.net
