Join the Ionian Dolphin Project next summer! Watch and study dolphins and monk seals in the wild to ensure their conservation.
You will fuel science-based conservation action aimed towards a respectful management of local resources, for the benefit of both dolphins and humans.
During your stay you will be part of a scientific team focused on the study and conservation of coastal dolphins. The Gulf of Ambracia (or Amvrakikos), a pristine semi-enclosed body of water in western Greece, hosts one of the highest densities of bottlenose dolphins in the Mediterranean. Here you will work side-by-side with experienced researchers and conduct daily surveys at sea. You will see lots of dolphins, get to know them, actively contribute to field data collection and, back at the field station, help download the data and process digital photos and scientific information.
If you reserve a team before January 7th, you can get a 10% discount on the total fee as early bird! Don't loose this fantastic opportunity!
The 2020 research season ended last month. Now it's reporting time: lots of writing to update donors and funding organizations about the work done during the summer. It is also time to plan the next year's work and soon on our website the calendar for the 2021 field teams will be ready.
In the meanwhile we are looking for a new car. Our old 7-seats mobile was dismissed in Puglia in October. It backed us up for almost 20 years to move the old boat from Amvrakikos to Paleros twice a month, in order to survey the Kalamos study area as well. Now with the new boat, we will not be forced to move it by land as the boat is big enough to cover the sea channel between the Avrakikos Gulf entrance and the Kalamos area. Nonetheless the team needs a car that guarantees safety transfers to the researchers and field work participants.
Your donation will help the project to support this new expense, which is not completely covered by our budget.
