A boat survey in the eyes of our interns: Claudia
“When you start to work with marine species, you learn how to enjoy the work as if you were there just for relaxing. It’s been two months since I arrived in Montenegro, one month since we were able to start boat surveys due to covid restrictions, and until yesterday, DMADs’ team was able to watch dolphins during a boat survey. I’m one of the assigned photographers in boat surveys and it’s amazing how many feelings go through someone’s body when you see marine mammals, excitement, happiness, nervousness, and a feeling of responsibility because at that moment you realize you are not there just to enjoy them, but also to study them, so you need to get all the information as soon as possible before you lose them again. I have to admit, I enjoy seeing dolphins through the lens of my camera and knowing that I’m taking pictures of them in their natural environment. “
