Dear MARMAMers
ALNITAK together with OceanCare announce their 2016 expeditions on “Tracking
Great Pelagics around the Balearic Islands”, held in Mallorca (Mediterranean
Sea) between 21st Mai 2015 and 29th July 2016 (in total 9 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.
