La stagione di ricerca appena conclusa del #Cetace La stagione di ricerca appena conclusa del #CetaceanSanctuaryResearch (CSR), a cui hanno partecipato un numero record di “citizen scientists”, ha riservato non poche sorprese.
“Pelagos” ha navigato, con ricercatori, assistenti e partecipanti, per ben 20 settimane, tra il 9 maggio e il 9 ottobre, coprendo qualcosa come 6786 km – più che circumnavigare l’Italia da Ventimiglia fino a Trieste e ritorno –  in tutto 715 ore trascorse in mare, durante i quali si sono registrati 229 avvistamenti di cetacei.
Quest’anno la raccolta dati è stata effettuata oltre che dal motorsailer “Pelagos” di Flash Vela d’Altura, anche dalla motonave “Corsara” di Golfo Paradiso Whale Watching.

The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regu The International Maritime Organisation (IMO) regulates shipping in the NW Mediterranean to protect endangered whales through the "Particularly Sensitive Sea Area" (PSSA) protection status
Last December the Marine Environment Protection Committee (MEPC) of IMO has decided, at the proposal of Spain, France, Italy and Monaco, to declare the North-Western Mediterranean region a Particularly Sensitive Sea Area (PSSA) with the aim of reducing ship collisions with the large cetaceans (sperm whales and fin whales), which still inhabit this area of intense maritime traffic.
The NW Mediterranean PSSA comprises the waters between Valencia and Genoa, a critical habitat for fin whales and sperm whales. These include:

• the Mediterranean Cetacean Migration Corridor, between the coast of Catalonia and Valencia and the Balearic Islands, declared a Marine Protected Area by the Spanish Government and a Specially Protected Area of Mediterranean Importance (SPAMI) by the Barcelona Convention,
• the Pelagos Cetacean Sanctuary in the Ligurian Sea,
• the Important Marine Mammal Areas (IMMA) called «Gulf of Lions Shelf» and «Slopes and Canyons System of the North-Western Mediterranean Sea».

Molte altre attività si sono avvicendate nel cors Molte altre attività si sono avvicendate nel corso dell’estate in mare: abbiamo raccolto la plastica, abbiamo ospitato a bordo diverse troupe televisive e altri giornalisti, i partecipanti ci hanno aiutato e gratificato nella maniera più varia.
Molti ci hanno sostenuto in vari modi: @Portosole Sanremo, @Golfo Paradiso Whale watching, @Canon, @Flash Vela d’Altura, @Biolu, @Guardia Costiera.
A tutti loro, ancora una volta, GRAZIE!

Le crociere a bordo di #Pelagos, come sempre, non Le crociere a bordo di #Pelagos, come sempre, non sono state solo di avvistamento cetacei, ma di raccolta dati scientifici. Sono stati raccolti dati di: fotoidentificazione, registrazioni di bioacustica, intervalli respiratori di capodogli, balenottere e globicefali; inoltre sono stati raccolte feci di entrambe le specie di grandi cetacei e un campione di pelle staccatosi naturalmente da un capodoglio, utile per analisi di genetica.
Di più sulle specie e le tecniche:
https://whalesanddolphins.tethys.org/it/partecipa/cetacean-sanctuary-research/csr-ricerca/
Lo scopo ultimo delle ricerche è sempre la conservazione delle preziose specie di mammiferi marini del Mediterraneo.
 
As always, cruises aboard #Pelagos, offered not just #whalewatching, but were aimed at collecting scientific data on Mediterranean cetaceans. Data were obtained on: photo identification, bioacoustic recordings, respiratory intervals of sperm, fin and pilot whales. In addition, samples of faeces were collected from both species of large cetaceans, and some skin shed by a sperm whale will be useful for genetic analyses.
More about species and techniques:

The ultimate aim of Tethys’ research is always the conservation of marine mammals in the Mediterranean.
