Program description: |
|
|
The crystal clear waters around the Island of Kalamos, Greece, are home to a diversity of cetaceans and have been some of the most intensively studied areas of marine mammals for many years. Join GVI on this exciting project and help investigate the behavior and ecology of both bottlenose and short-beaked common dolphins through field research. As a volunteer you will work alongside researchers to gather and interpret data collected during surveys at sea. You will also attend lectures and help in the preliminary analysis of photography to gain more knowledge, experience and have a full insight into the project at hand. As well as learning new skills, this project takes you to see stunning dolphins in a beautiful location where you are sure to have a truly amazing experience!
*How this program makes a difference*
The work carried out by GVI volunteers on this project produces information which directly contributes towards dolphin conservation in the Mediterranean Sea. These efforts have contributed to the area qualifying as a 'Site of Community Importance'. In 2003 and 2005, the Mediterranean common dolphin population was listed as 'Endangered' in the IUCN Red List of Threatened Species and included in Appendix I of the Convention on the Conservation of Migratory Species. You will be part of a scientific team and will learn about marine conservation priorities, apply advanced dolphin investigation methods and help with research at sea.
