Bottlenose dolphins in Spain - Tursiops truncatus <br />
You may participate in our field research on human-cetacean interactions and our encounters with cetaceans leave virtually nobody unimpressed. The team conducts research on human-cetacean interactions since 1995 and we aim to improve the knowledge of different cetacean species' ecology, behaviour and their responsiveness to whale watching boats. We do so from a small whale watching boat during regular whale watching trips. Our methods include behavioural sampling, photo-identification and, on occasion, acoustic recordings via a hydrophone. Wale watching - the observation of whales and dolphins in their natural environment today is promoted as an important means of increasing the environmental awareness of the public. Through the combination of whale watching-tourism, science and public work, you may contribute to throwing a bridge between economy and ecology and thus contribute to an ecological way that whale watching can be conducted for the benefit of both humans and the cetaceans we love so much.
