the secrets lie behind these discovered new adventures in 360 degrees. and explore fascinating. both heritage selling dw world heritage 360. now the it's amazing to interact with creatures that are so much bigger than yourself in the above. sometimes a large vessel will collide with the will not even realize that part of it. i love the fact that i can do something to help protect them

the the service ever since i was a child, i have dreamed of becoming a marine biologist clean vehicle, which i've come to. i was looking for projects online and found this one from the texas institute and signed up for the but the she bought it. it's the spouse of an exciting week. oh hi, i'm sophia mamma. sophia from the texas institute welcomes and the abode. they'll spend a week studying wales in the mediterranean, so i don't want too much time. i'm really excited because i think this is a unique experience. i've never done anything like it before on on and on my

hospital. i'm also hoping to learn a loss and find out whether this is something i want to do in the future. it would be copied as a quick stop with that. so i'm gonna stop the cobra test was essential on both the pedagogy. the research is, will be living in very close for to down here is where the 17 year old will be sleeping. so this is the cabin. you'll see here with 3 others. choose one of the top bunk. i'll show you the bathroom and the barn you think you can hang your things in here. ok. i hope i don't get seasick, clear, but if i do, i'll take something, it will work out. so the shortest that'll be traveling in the political century of the coast of from italy and monaco,

covering 87000 square kilometers. it's erupts largest marine protected area on time to move in 2012 about which little is known. in the ports of sun, re mo sabina. i rosie from the texas research institute and skip over about to ryan eddie. a keen to get underway. focal $45.00 a month severe storms has been full cost, but thought it, you know, it looks bad. it will be very difficult to observe the wells, but that also about a genuine. so look, there's a large, special pulling in your shoes trying to pop right next to the research vessel. roberto and sabina are concerned that the small sailing boats could get damaged. it's fast boats like these with loud engines that the biggest threat to the whales

out at sea. but the, the knob, you know, every day we see the impact that these big vessels have on the whales get on the trip. we often see wells with wounds caused by the propeller. you can count on that if any, to that, that me out today and you can every yeah, it was such is from touch this record serious injuries sustained by the way us. they named one way or code them up, or separate tail fins. they kept on seeing him, unrecorded, the progression of his injury until in the winter of 2020, cooled them up. so stuff to death the, his injury was probably the result of a collision with the shit. the sometimes the bow of the ship hits a fin. well, over a spring, well, the captain doesn't even feel it. like on this photo, the well was on

a cargo ship that pulled into the port. no one on board had been aware of that. meanwhile, 80 kilometers to the northeast in the port of savannah, a passenger fairy is about to leave for the island of corsica. the bad, full cost is no problem for the huge vessel. it has a note the capacity of 5000 tons and can take over 2000 passengers. captain antonio como expects to reach corsica by evening. the routes post is right through the pedagogues century. the problem is, as marine mammals, whales have to surface regularly to breathing that must throw out a lovely finding. whales directly in our path doesn't happen that often, but it can happen. the mobile can be done as well. researches from the

environmental group. cima is also on board here to look out for wales and environmental problems like gump age, for example. but today is whether it makes it difficult. in fact, under these quite hazy conditions, supporting whales wouldn't be easy either. the . hopefully we'll still be able to see them despite the width. uh, let's hope they all if any of the research is supposed to, well, the ferry will change course and slow down the crew has agreed to go along with this. even though the captain is convinced the whale would move to avoid the

ship. that's what i'm going to do. i mean, i've been sailing on these routes for 22 years, and i've never witnessed the collision. never. and it's never happened to us either . and yet, shipping has increased massively in the protected area posing and as a great to stretch to the whales the marine mammals play a key role in maintaining the ecological balance of the oceans. says project manager, pola tips which made by the gnostic whales and dolphins are considered the engineers of the marine eco system. so that means that because they have a major impact on many other spaces and they are kind of protective umbrella spc, do i need someone come out to? so if you protect them, you protect the entire traffic network. i think, i mean all the inter connected food che,

as indeed co system on no 5 to the kids at all to go back in sun re most dependent goal says going nowhere because of the weather. but the team that using the time to get to know one another with homework the, my name is the money to was the i the field work a please. just to get on a visa, we to i'm responsible for collecting data and i'm just kind of really the main biology. my name is christina, i'm from space. and then, well, i'm part of this stuff hearing to just do this week. so uh, i'm a m, i'm 17 years old and dying here because i want to figure out if the marine biology is what i want to study in the future over the next few days, the volunteers were what, with the research team like teaching and the identifying whales, sadly, one in 7,

orange it touches for such as have spent nearly 40 years trying to persuade the government to do more to protect wales, the more information they have, the better they can present that case. we have one of the largest doctor said to him that he said in the situations and the longest that the cds on these pieces each warranty pays 800 to you guys to spend a week on the research, but they'd love to head out right away. but the next rein front is approaching from the mainland. skip that, we're about to write. you. navy is responsible for everyone on board. spivey all coast guard. hopefully it will rain now and then be over on the or

the subpoena i really the tends to make good use of the downtime. she's going to observe wales in a different way. she's managed to convince the european maritime safety agency or m . so to study the migrate to remove mints of whales from the face time, pretty much so it's very exciting because this is an extremely innovative project and it's something completely new that will allow us to make it a very important contribution to the scientific community. a lot, i like only addition, no one has ever used a drill and like we're using for this purpose of observing dwells out, don't have any photo requests the people. she has an appointment at the minute she

at bass. and so it's on the sabina, i already has even managed to get the millet tree involved. normally this base only monitors maritime traffic and see pollution. but today the focus is on the actual marine life. so the, the emphasis, remotely piloted aircraft is ready for takeover. one of sabrina's coworkers is also in the control room to help the military personnel set for whales syndrome pilot jones, that please it's, it's been something of a learning curve. he's used to monitoring ships and boats. supposing whales from

a height of 250 meters is a whole different matter. it's much harder because you're dealing with nature. so you have to follow nature's clues to you're looking for jets of water in the movements of a c. c that i'm used to watching the boats. this mission here is much more difficult. here. let me see. so that i find it very moving to see the different whales and dolphins. they see chelsea that seem to have the drone is fine and precisely defined to reach the see i love jump thanks to the sensors on this room. we have the ability to take pictures that allow us to identify and photograph individual. well, so then to pick out it is single, so it really is an exceptional source of data. i'm in the phone this from within ivy, deducting it is the driving has now been flying

over the gulf of general off for 2 hours. unfortunately without success. the team haven't cited any whales today. the, during the last flights they made an extraordinary discovery, capturing a group of mazda of wales with dan young as supplemented some interest in on it was amazing because in our area, you normally only see adults on their own coming here to feed individuals that have been going to keep better after one job, it could that indicate an issue with food sources or are there other reasons and a lot of they won't do much sooner instead of there could be all sorts of reasons and more of the just the most likely one is that they

came here for food. that's another reason you know, so we know that their food source, especially for sperm wells, is mainly deep c squared help of a couple of them and they are sensitive to changes in temperature. so my eyes and strongly do sense to be they come with them. so we're looking to see if there's any connection there. i didn't semantic waste of supply such on a quarter left showing sabina is expertise is also useful for the coast guards. then also any responsible for people safety, but also for protecting marine life in the mediterranean. with the touches institutes helps the local coast guard now wants to develop a whale warning system for ships. boston advertising that would allow ships to take preventive action like reducing their speed or changing course to reduce the risk of collision, the same people after all, that's the biggest threats to our well easiest give we must have made this list both behavioral feature fashion,

the political century is often called the north pole of the mediterranean war 2 is extremely cool and the sea bed is criss crossed by 2000 meter deep canyons. that's a home to deep sea squids. the main food of spam, whiles, the corsica ferry, is now pulsing sweet that dining with sim ethic. one that we send you item is that when the well surface to breathe, they don't necessarily notice that a ship is nearby. this is something that needs more research. you found a certain way that i lost it. i didn't see did say, but it was for sure it was too crooked to be a seen while store, but i said, i'm not feeling well with surface again in about 10 minutes. that's a spam well might stay under wars if up to an hour still there is such a hoping to see it again. you look when you said you

might conditions are not ideal today. i'm almost done, but we still spotted to wells on it being hooked up with all you would already know by now there the active sites inside teen money or lessons installed. it's quite far away. it may be 2 nautical miles from our boat to look for that on the backend sun. we know. meanwhile the weather has improved. the group can finally head out to see everyone is assigned a role. changing off during our the reset tokenize ation touch. his needs, the volunteers is the 1st to be assigned to the accounts no one expected us to go out today after the waves came into the harbor quickly is some of the key and what's your now we're all excited hoping to see something close on speed on them bad. m a has to learn to accurately assess the c and the

weather conditions and pos on the information for the record. to the class you press here to speak. so when you've made up your mind, you tell us on that you, so you say water surface to the single state waste. and then you look at the waves and what they're, they're small or huge. so gigante, i'm ok sort of command. no, i would say waves to see you to do that just takes out volunteers from may to september. that's the best time to observe wells, but it's become more difficult. the weather this year was quite unsettled. last winter was relatively dry, but that was followed by a lot of rain in the some box. then by skip roberto suspects the booming of the oceans is to blame you. i'm going to do where he's got in recent years. we've noticed the surface waters have warmed steadily. last year we had

a surface temperature of $29.00 degrees. we've never had that before. a few beds is all they get to see today. the site things are recorded in the logs but tough to 2 hours. they head back to ports. the full cost for the following day is much better the next morning they start tacitly sabina is wasting around just being frustrating for everyone. and no one got much sleep in the cramped conditions that hoping today will be the day of the whales. it's a nice day. we should be able to go far out to see hopefully we'll see something

sabina, we'll be leading the expedition the she studied biology and started off for such an insect. it was only late to that. she heard about wales in the mediterranean and became interested. she took policy to number the river such trips one brought to this area of the coast of san we met the deductible to mount after traveling all over it at least coastal waters. suddenly 1 july morning at 6 20 am. i found myself surrounded by 11 wheels, so i didn't know where to look 1st of all. and then i realized that this was going to be my life. for the next 30 or 40 years, let on sabrina's assistant, mario drops a microphone into the room to letting it drag behind the boat to the depths of success. he made his in service such as want to use the microphone to pick up the

noise is made by whales and dolphins. they communicate and navigate to using a variety of sounds like the site and can detect the marine mammals up to 10, no single miles away. that is provided knowledge, ships, call spine, and be suitable, and then you get a continuous noise that's very off putting non i get e, a leak in the by ships and ferries, all disrupt the sounds that the whales need to communicate and to see get what you need them ship and what company he's already unbearable for similar things. so put it, that'd be the but we can just take off the headphones again. one of the wales can't do that a little bit. that goes, i don't know, it's m as time to be on the account. she immediately spelt something at 1

o'clock to leave the 2 o'clock the, it's a positive defense, they're getting louder. they're clicking and wistfully cut serena can filter out of the background noise. these clicks allow them to get their bearings, the dolphins use them to register their surroundings. these lines are the whistles for communication. this is a beautiful whistle very long and complex. we can't understand what they're saying, but we know that the dolphins are communicating with each other and using echo

location to detect their surroundings. the dolphins seem inquisitive. coming right up to the research best. so can we? we don't know how many there. ah, because they're everywhere, even behind it. so that's fair. some the vin. suddenly fidel faced disappear again on board. everything is documented dependent goes continues. it's jenny, out to see leaving the coast behind them. they head out to the terrain.

if the whales news, sabina gives names to wales that she and count has several times. one of them is freddy. he has deep scars on his back, presumably from a ship's propeller. she seen him repeat today. when okay, just saying this shows us the wells extraordinary will to survive one thing, but it also reveals the inability of the power goes sensual. rachel, really protect these magnificent creatures squished? well, they see freddy today. the mario look. i saw something at 1 o'clock. the

200 meters take a look. i think i saw something a puff and a jump. everyone has that eyes peeled now. fin wales. i need to lie for a short time. if it's been well, it will have to come up to and about 10 minutes. roberto so those the boat right down so there's not to find yeah, i'm all to some of us so we're pretty close to him. but he's disappeared. he's doing a long dive, heading to the depths. they move fast under water and i will have to see where he surfaces and then there's another one a bit further ahead tab. once we've identified this one, i think we will go to the other one, the,

the one to how much time has passed. now the 9 minutes, the 5. it's a fin. well, many 20 meters? no. no one. sabina nose. can you see the 2nd one? the then the 2nd way, oh, jumps to those whales keeps surfacing around the pedagogy. neither of them is

freddy, but the young crew is denied the info page of full. i've never seen a while before. it's amazing to interact with creatures that is so much bigger than yourself. i've done when we still not like discovery, defend well with a wide mark on it's been, it's not a natural marking. it's some kind of scar either from a ship's propeller or more likely from fishing gear. the

being able to get close with found, disturbing them was all uniform sizes. and then those 2 jumps were fantastic, a gift of bidding and to the day. indeed the week. and kids, even after seeing them hundreds of times, it's always an emotional moment. it's always the same. let me 1st it's emotional, but then the research are in me takes over. i know i have to collect data. the thing. sure. right from the 1st a not just from talking to the other biologists and the girls here. now i'm even more convinced. this is what i want to study when we talk, what are the people they've got? it was arriving back in the post of sun rima sabina. i really has no

time to waste. she wants to analyze all the new sightings. immediately. i have to go to the we fairly arrived. the engine still running the subpoena plans to meet again with politicians and officials. she was that top and high efforts to protect the whales i'm the crew will continue to take out volunteers to go way on. watching naturally a new generation of were such as keen to protect these magnificent giants in the mediterranean, the
