Marine Conservation, Mozambique

Before I travelled, everything seemed fine and Jane answered all my questions and provided support. As penning my flights was cancelled the nightmare started. Jane wasn’t reacting, Calum neither. I got stuck and support hours later than needed. Ones in the project, I had to discover that there was no project. No research took place at all, just diving with a diving school without research tasks. Calum showed up to say hello days later and nearly only talked to volunteers drunk and in a manner that I felt uncomfortable. Asking about research and complaining only led to promises that never were held. What about the fours research acitivities? Nothing at all. Most days Calum did not show up at all or was so late that activities need to be cancelled. The dive school was great so I did an additional diving course. Overall, a lot of money spend for no research and a really cheap and old accommodation in the middle of nowhere and far from Tofo where it was supposed to be. None of the promised mosquito nets, no bathroom door, construction and volunteers being moved around. At spring tide, we even had to walk up to an hour to the dive school.
