2013 Malta Cetacean and Sea Turtle Research Program

Starting in June 2013, KAI Marine Services will be embarking on an ambitious marine research program around the island of Malta in the central Mediterranean. KAI Expeditions will be offering week-long sailing expeditions that not only offer you an opportunity to explore the waters of the Republic of Malta but also participate in two international scientific projects, LIFE+MIGRATE and OASIS, developed in conjunction with the Government of Malta, the European Commission, the US’s National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration, The National Geographic Society, the Balearic Islands Coastal Observing and Forecasting System, and KAI Marine Services.

Each expedition departs from the Maltese capital, Valletta on the luxury motor-sailing yacht Luis Ginillo, where expedition members will be an instrumental part of the research team, assisting in spotting, counting and identifying marine mammals, birds, and turtles, and adding to our knowledge of these important species.
