UNIVERSITY OF PLYMOUTH VISITS MORIGENOS IN PIRAN

Between 5th and 9th August, Morigenos hosted a field course for a group of students and lecturers from the University of Plymouth, UK, to complement their university education. The students learned about various research methods, including land-based and boat-based surveys, photo-identification, behavioural sampling, and bioacoustics.
While doing that, they had multiple opportunities to observe dolphins in their natural habitat and collect data on their behaviour, movements and vocalisations. Guided by our science team, the program included lectures, fieldwork and data collection, and solving concrete problems in marine mammal science and conservation.
We are delighted to have collaborated with the University of Plymouth and provided the students with an in-depth insight into our research activities and thus helped train a new generation of marine and conservation biologists.
