GIBRALTAR / Global Vision International
This project sees volunteers being trained to work alongside a team of scientists researching whales and dolphins in the Strait of Gibraltar, Spain. The research has been ongoing for the last 10 years and the area is particularly important as it has some of the highest cetacean diversity and abundance in Europe. Volunteers may come across the following species during the research surveys; Pilot Whales, Killer Whales, Sperm Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins, Fin Whales, Striped Dolphins and Common Dolphins. Research work includes sea based surveys as well as data entry back on land. Training will be given on methodologies used, and presentations will be delivered on knowledge so far and future conservation plans for cetaceans in the area. You will be in charge of a small supervised project during your trip.
