Conhecidos pela sua diversidade de tamanhos e formas, assim como pelos comportamentos diferenciados, os cetáceos cantam, assobiam, gemem ou gorjeiam enquanto atravessam grandes extensões de oceano. E é precisamente aí que entra o Arquipélago dos Açores.
This online platform combines tourism and science. During the trips, our marine biologist guides collect information about the sightings (position, behaviour, numbers, species etc). The objective of this long-term database is to contribute at the better understanding of the cetaceans in the Azores.
This citizen science photo-identification project engages people to identify individual marine mammals, for fun and for science. The guides on board and clients can submit the pictures of the sperm whale flukes that they took during the trip on www.happywhale.com and can track them around the globe.
This project aims to evaluate the impact of whale watching activity on sperm whales’s behavior. For this Peter Whale Watching and other partner enterprises provide a set of information about its daily activity and sighted animals.
Base Peter Zee is compromised with the conservation of the oceans and its inhabitants: besides educational and scientific talks, other pedagogic initiatives, our whale watching activity has been investing in the photo-identification of whales:
One of the techniques to study the sperm whales is through the photo-identification of the individuals; this consists in obtaining a photograph of the underside of its fluke. The border is different from every adult individual (as fingerprints in humans), so we use it as a distinctive characteristic. Once those flukes are compared and animals re-sighted, this provides useful information that allows scientist to know more about their population numbers, behaviours, migration patterns, birth rates and much more.
