Cetacean Sanctuary Research 16, 7-13 September

What an incredible, unforgettable experience! It was SO much better than what I expected. From the initial sighting of striped dolphins riding the bow of the Pelagos, to the days spent studying Matt the sperm whale (and others), I was awestruck. It was especially gratifying to see that, even so close to the end of the season, the researchers were just as excited by the animal sightings as the volunteers were. The crew provided warm hospitality and were anxious to share information about the cetaceans and Tethys’ research. It was great fun spending a week with a group of wonderful, interesting people – researchers and volunteers alike. Thank you all for contributing to an excellent week at sea! Grazie mille a tutti!
