The staff of the Cetacean Sanctuary Research (CSR) Project
They are passionate about cetaceans and will all be happy to share their knowledge about wildlife conservation
The “Cetacean Sanctuary Research” team includes several skilled professionals with a principal field investigator, researchers, and research assistants taking turns on board “Pelagos” and other research vessels during the field season. One or two Tethys researchers plus several research assistants provide the necessary scientific and logistic services on board. They share their knowledge and experience with participants in a variety of ways, including teaching research techniques and giving lectures on cetaceans and marine biology. The researchers hold a degree in Biology or Natural Sciences, and have significant prior experience in cetacean research. Research assistants are usually University students doing their theses in collaboration with Tethys.
