DDP is not only scientific research at sea and data collection! Giulia tells us about sensitization activities she was involved in during the month of September as a DDP staff. Only if you know something and understand its value, you can push for a change and protect it.!
La giornata si è conclusa ammirando un bel tramonto. One of the best days spent in Liguria was when I did birdwatching the ornithologist Enrico Carta. We observed many species in Oneglia with our binoculars: a way to admire animals colors and behaviors without disturbing them.
A great, amazing Sunday for Anna! A day full of sightings, both bottlenose and striped dolphins. And she also participated in the release of a sea turtle!
Li-ann tells us about her day off, spent with the other girls taking a ride towards Sanremo. The beauty of the sea cycle path has really thrilled them!
A series of exciting encounters, the first sperm whale sighted and a trip to the Genoa Aquarium: an intense week for Beatrice, who tells us about it.
On August 17th Delfini del Ponente took part in the Plastic Hunt in one of Imperia beaches. A huge amount of trash had been collected, not just plastic, had been collected from our team. Many children helped us, a positive sign for the future.
How does it feel to be on a whale-watching boat for the first time? And to meet your first dolphins and even Cuvier's beaked whales? Read the incredible tale of Giovanni of such a memorable day at sea!
Amazing sightings after long days at the office! Andrea tells us what she did at work (both at the office and at sea) with the new August team.
Finally we were back at sea! After such a long time spent in the office, it was so great to spot bottlenose dolphins again... The sighting was even more exceptional since there was a tiny dolphin with the group, and we realised it was a newborn!
Being an intern with Delfini del Ponente means spending a lot of time in the field, but not only! In fact, we are also working in the office where we learn about several aspects of cetaceans and marine life, but also contribute to photo-ID of dolphins and data analysis.
