Exciting week at DMAD!
Exciting week at DMAD! Three new interns joined our team in Montenegro: Noemi from Germany, Natalia from Colombia and Cedric from Belgium. A calm first day at the office was not an option, as they were immediately assigned to a boat survey. And what a survey it was! Calm water, sunny weather, many dolphins, and… boat problems. At the end of the survey, the boat decided to take a nap, leaving them stuck in the middle of the bay. Panic? Not at all! Maybe a little bit… Luckily, a good soul in a very luxurious yacht noticed them and immediately realized his duty! He came over, made sure that they were okay and threw a lifeline. They were towed to Portonovi, probably the most exclusive port of the entire country. The arrival of a tiny survey boat must have been a funny sight, being surrounded by massive yachts. They all had a good laugh and eventually made it home safely. It just goes to show that being a marine researcher is never boring and you never know what to expect when you’re out in the sea!
