entering the marine sector isn’t always easy
Are you seeking:
Your first real opportunity in the marine sector?
Fieldwork, research or conservation experience that propels your career?
Mentors and professional connections that support your journey and open doors?
A clearer plan for your marine career and a community navigating it too?
If so, MIM Network was built for you.
You don't have to navigate it alone
built by people who've been there
MIM Network was founded by marine scientists Emily and Brodee, who have spent the past decade working across research, industry, ecotourism and conservation.
After supporting 50+ volunteer interns through whale research seasons, they saw how hard it was for early-career ocean professionals to access experience and make connections.
So, they built the network they wish they had when starting their careers.

I highly recommend applying for the MIM Network internship in Geographe Bay, to anyone considering a career in Marine Mammal Science. It will equip you with important skills used for marine mammal fieldwork, and provide you with a great network of scientists- just go for it! A big shout out and thank you to Brodee and Emily, who make this opportunity possible.

If anyone is struggling with deciding what path they want to take or simply just looking for opportunities or motivation, I 100% recommend contacting MIM Network. It was the best decision I made in my 3 years of undergraduate studies. Since graduating in 2021, the ongoing guidance, knowledge, and opportunities MIM has given me have been life-changing. Researching SRWs on Australia’s coastline, seals on the Antarctic Peninsula, and now working as a whale watching guide in northern Norway—just to name a few.

I joined the MIM Network with a passion for conservation but no idea how to turn it into a career. Emily and Brodee listened, guided me, and opened doors I didn’t know existed. I’m now studying Marine Biology (following in their footsteps) and through them, completed amazing whale monitoring internships and a traineeship. They’re professional, supportive, and truly dedicated to building a brighter future for all - 100% recommend their support!
