Hace unos días, un colega biólogo me envió a través del Biogrupo una oferta de trabajo para publicarla en el blog. Recibo muchas y variadas ofertas al cabo del día, pero ésta me llamó especialmente la atención . Era para un puesto de coordinador de investigación en una estación biológica de Costa Rica, a la orilla del Caribe. ¿Las funciones? Muchas y variadas, pero principalmente monitoreo de fauna y flora de la zona: muestreos de tortugas marinas, mamíferos, caimanes, censos de aves locales y migratorias... No sé vosotros, pero si yo no tuviera trabajo actualmente, ¡me iría ahora mismo para allá! Aunque, claro... ¿Qué se necesita para trabajar como biólogo en zonas tropicales? Quizá lo mejor sea preguntarle a alguien que haya conseguido ese trabajo antes...

The Leibniz Center for Tropical Marine Ecology (ZMT) in Bremen is a member of the Leibniz Association, which is supported by the German Federal and State Governments. Through its research, ZMT contributes to developing science-based strategies for sustainable use of tropical coastal systems ( www.zmt-bremen.de ). The island of Hainan in the South China Sea is China's largest special economic zone in which agriculture, fisheries, aquaculture and in particular tourism are of major importance. However, the exploitation of natural resources and the discharge of effluents impose a threat on water quality and health of coastal waters and ecosystems which build the foundation of booming tourism. Moreover, an upwelling area east of Hainan also influences the coastal zone. ECOLOC therefore aims to study the impact of environmental change on ecosystem health and the responsible processes, the understanding of which is mandatory for a sustainable management of the coastal zone. For t...
