CCT welcomes its 2026-2027 intern, Elisha Gough
The Chagos Conservation Trust is delighted to welcome its intern for the 2026-2027 academic year, Elisha Gough.
1st August 2026
The Chagos Conservation Trust is delighted to welcome its intern for the 2026-2027 academic year, Elisha Gough, who is on a ‘year out in industry’ between her second and third year of her marine biology degree at Swansea University. She will work half the week with the Trust, and the other half in the Marine Conservation Ecology Lab (known at MarCEL), part of the university’s Bioscience Department.
Elisha is the third intern for CCT, after its internship programme launched in 2024 in partnership with Swansea University. Having an intern for a year will increase the Trust’s capacity, whilst teaching a trainee marine biologist the skills needed to run a marine conservation charity – important for students wanting to work in this sector post-graduation.
Last year’s intern, Jenny Tait, enjoyed her time with the Trust so much she will continue interning a few hours a week to help with communications and events after covering the CCT social media platforms when our director took annual leave this summer.
