Get Palmhugging with Malibu (and Do Some Good While You're At It!)

Malibu rum (yes, the one that tastes like coconuts!) is partnering with Reef Check, a non-profit dedicated to monitoring, protecting and rehabilitating coral reefs, to offer 10 budding environmentalists a chance to get a PhD in SPF by monitoring coral reef health in Thailand, the Maldives or the Philippines.

Starting July 1, passionate individuals of legal drinking age may apply by visiting http://malibu-rum.com/reefcheck. Beach interns will be sent on an all-expenses paid, 10-day internship, where they will learn about the local coral reef eco-system, monitor the reefs, snorkel, scuba dive and gain their certification all while getting their island on in a beautiful location. It’s the internship that guarantees bragging rights, beach time and that feel-good satisfaction of knowing that you’re helping to conserve reefs around the world.

I’m sorry, but that’s a pretty damn cool internship. Also, Malibu is yummy (too bad it’s not organic, hint hint!)

Sorry, nothing found.
