All you need is an interest in Cetacean biology, ecology and conservation and a positive attitude. Joining one of our weekly expeditions requires a *participation fee* which covers shared accommodation (*COVID 19 Note: Only co-travellers will be sharing a room*), two meals/day, training/lessons and part of the operational costs of the project. *How to Participate*: To participate in the Northern Aegean Dolphin Project please visit: www.northernaegeandolphinproject.com or send an email to d.tsiaka...@mom.gr For information on MOm please visit: www.mom.gr For reviews of the experience by previous participants please visit our facebook page: www.facebook.com/mom.gr *COVID19 Health Safety Notes: * - Greece has been very effective with handling the pandemic with the lowest cases/mil population in Europe - Only co-travellers will be sharing a room - The research vessel is large and direct physical contact and close proximity can be avoided at all times - Most project activities are outdoors. During indoors activities (photo-ID analysis which requires a computer) all precautions will be taken and regulations followed (e.g. undertaken in pairs), lessons will take place outdoors. - The island where the project takes place has had no COVID19 cases to date and its population density is low even during the touristic season Our warmest wishes to all during these trying times.
