Among the various Italian Institutes that care about these marine mammals, and are fighting for their protection, stands the Tethys Research Institute. Founded in 1986, the Institute is composed of biologists and naturalists who in the course of decades of activities have made an extraordinary contribution to the knowledge and conservation of whales and dolphins.
Over thirty years of hard and passionate work allowed Tethys to move the general public’s attention towards the Mediterranean cetaceans, and to better understand how to mitigate the pressures that threaten these wonderful animals.
All this effort has very high costs and you too can support the work of Tethys with a donation. Your contribution will help researchers to continue their work, and will contribute to the conservation of cetacean populations of the Mediterranean Sea. There are various ways to help Tethys, from a simple contribution to the participation in one of our research projects.
