The internship programme is funded by The Crown Estate and project managed by Kent Wildlife Trust Consultancy Services. The 2023 internship will run in partnership with The Crown Estate, Vattenfall, Canterbury City Council and Kent Wildlife Trust Consultancy Services. Each of these partners will provide opportunities for the Intern to develop skills in specialist areas of the marine sector including renewable energy, marine conservation and ecology, and community engagement.
