Independent research
We welcome researchers with their own project ideas
We host researchers whose projects enrich our own long-term research, and support those asking their own unique questions.
What we offer
Researchers who want a base from which to pursue their studies will receive logistical support and advice from our staff throughout the process. Our relationship with the local community often allows us competitive rates for local services and provides us local knowledge and experience to help you get the most out of your field work.
We also have several long-term datasets that provide researchers with a baseline of key local taxa, including mammals, marine turtles, snakes, otters, amongst others.
Exploring a collaboration
The first step is for you to review the work we’ve done so far and build an idea of the type of work that you would like to do at the station.
It’s often useful to review the individual taxa research pages on this website, associated research completed already, and draft some initial ideas before contacting the Station Manager (station@coterc.org) to arrange time to speak.
