Nel corso degli anni, molti progetti di ricerca scientifica di maggior o minore portata sono stati svolti in collaborazione con noi, e tuttora desideriamo favorire e dare il nostro contributo all’acquisizione di conoscenze più approfondite sui cetacei e l’ambiente marino. A questo scopo possiamo contribuite in diversi modi, per esempio ospitando ricercatori e studenti a bordo delle nostre navi per la raccolta di dati durante i safari, o con l’accesso al nostro database di foto-ID, ecc. Studenti e ricercatori che desiderano svolgere un progetto di ricerca sui cetacei (in particolare capodogli) possono contattarci per valutare le possibilità di collaborazione.

PUBBLICAZIONI SCIENTIFICHE

Qui presentiamo una lista di pubblicazioni scientifiche che sono risultato di ricerca svolta presso, o in collaborazione con, Whalesafari.
