Dear marmamers, the Deutsches Meeresmuseum calls for volunteers to join trials in Denmark to study a recently developed harbor porpoise by-catch mitigation strategy, the PAL (Porpoise Alert) for potential habituation effects. We are looking for motivated people to join us during our field campaign at Fyns Hoved, Denmark in summer 2022 to observe the interaction of harbor porpoises with an experimental fishing net, acquire acoustic data using 4 channel soundtraps and FPODs and take drone footage of the animals in the experimental set up. We look for people with previous experience in cetacean observation, ideally with some skills operating drones. Food and accommodation will be covered by the project, but costs for travel and insurance will have to be covered by the volunteers themselves. Minimum time to volunteer will be two weeks. Preference will be given to volunteers that can stay longer periods of time. Dates: 18.06.2022 -03.09.2022 For more information on the project follow the link: https://www.thuenen.de/en/of/projects/fisheries-environment-baltic-sea/does-the-efficiency-of-pal-to-reduce-harbor-porpoise-bycatch-persist/ Please send us a short email introducing yourself and telling us why you want to join the project together with your CV to: [email protected]<mailto:[email protected]> We look forward to meeting you!
Sincere regards, Ole Meyer-Klaeden and Thaya Miranda Dinkel
