About Program

The main aim of this campaign will be to research the Humpback whale population in the seas around Moheli, in order to create a catalogue of photo-identification.

We will also create an inventory of the marine mammal population (sperm whale, beacked whales, dugong).

We have started to work on different dolphins' populations such as spinner, spotted, bottlenose and melon headed. We would like to investigate population estimation and social behaviour.

We will also work on sea-birds and their relation-ship with fishermen.

You will go to sea as much as possible with local guides to scan the seas for any cetaceans. As well as taking pictures for the purpose of photo-identification we will study the response of cetaceans to boats, as indicated by behaviour, respiration and group dynamics. We will also focus on group association patterns. If conditions allow you may also have a chance to swim with the cetaceans.
