Field recordings between Cabo Raso and Cabo Espichel. Collaboration with SeaEO Tours, which promotes environmental awareness and education through seabird and dolphin-watching trips.
See their work here or check their website here for more information.
There are around 17 different species of dolphins living within this area. It was possible to integrate one of the tours to try to record them. On this trip, we saw mainly the common dolphin, both juvenile and adult communities that live here all year round. The recordings were quite challenging cause we could not stop the boat for a long time. Special thanks to Sid and the team for having me:)
