Embark with us and help researchers in data collection! Our expeditions study cetaceans in the central Tyrrhenian Sea (Italy), and are supported through the participation of volunteers. The fee paid to participate in the camps is entirely used to cover project expenses. Your contribution helps us sustain our study and conservation activities. Our research vessel, sails in the central Tyrrhenian Sea, in the waters of the Campanian and Pontine archipelagos, off the islands of Ischia, Procida, Capri, Ventotene, and Ponza. The study area represents a unique opportunity to study cetaceans because seven different Mediterranean species have been recorded there since 1991. We are looking for passionate people who want to make a personal commitment to cetacean conservation. No special training is required to participate, just a spirit of adaptation and a lot of enthusiasm. Participants in our expeditions have an unforgettable experience, meeting animals in their environment and learning about the risks they face such as habitat degradation, declining resources, chemical and noise pollution. The experience focuses on personal growth, socially responsible behaviors, and teamwork and allows participants (enthusiasts, students, teachers, journalists, researchers...) to transfer the values of biodiversity and species richness of the Mediterranean. The boat environment promotes the values of recycling, energy efficiency, water and resource conservation, and a simple lifestyle. Participants come from all over the world and live aboard the research vessel, which sails mainly under sail. During their stay, days are devoted to research activities, and each volunteer is involved in fieldwork and boat duties.
