Dear MARMAMers
ALNITAK together with OceanCare & KAI Marine announce their 2015
expeditions on “Tracking Great Pelagics around the Balearic Islands”,
held in Menorca (Mediterranean Sea) from 25 July 2015 till 21 August
2015 (in total 4 expeditions of 6 days duration each).
A financial contribution to survey cost of Euro 980 per Person and
expedition is a requisite to join the crew. These expeditions are a unique
opportunity for anyone interested in learning about the study of marine
biodiversity, participating actively in a visual and acoustic survey of
this project dedicated to the improvement of management guidelines and
provision of the necessary scientific foundation for the mitigation
of risks to target species such as loggerhead sea turtle, sperm whale,
Cuvier's beaked whale, and Risso's dolphins.
Participants will learn basic concepts of navigation and shipboard
surveys, participating in lookouts, cetacean sighting recording, acoustic
recording, photo-identification image collection, sea turtle tagging,
and recording data on human activities. During the six day courses,
lectures
will be given by experienced researchers, to introduce participants to
the methods implemented during the survey and the application to
conservation of the results. For further information on available dates
and course contents, or to download detailed information, please visit:
