A land survey in the eyes of our interns: Noemi

Seeing dolphins during a land survey for the first time was just as exciting as it was overwhelming. It was an early morning survey at our station in Kakrc and the first thing that caught our attention was actually not seeing the individual, but hearing its blow as it came up for air. As a team of four interns we managed to track its movements with the binoculars and the theodolite, while writing down its behaviour in the data sheet and the coordinates of its location in the field laptop.

You as citizen can help us out in a very similar way when you see a dolphin in Montenegro. You can become a citizen scientist! Tell us about the day, time and location when you see a dolphin. If possible take a picture and send it to us. Could you make out how many dolphins there were? What direction were they swimming? Anything could help us and our research which is vital to protect this wonderful species that is also very important for the ecosystem.
