What it Takes to Find a Sperm Whale in Turkey ?


I've joined Whales and Dolphins Research Expedition organized by organization DMAD. The project called " Giant Guardians Of The Deep Seas" the aim of survey is to scan all Eastern Mediterranean part of Turkey for cetaceans. My position was drone pilot and to find sperm whales there was not an easy task.

Such researches are very important and necessary both for scientific purposes and conservation. Unfortunately as it often happens such projects lack funding. And right now further surveys under questions because of not enough money to cover the expenses.

In October I've been in Montenegro where I joined DMAD - Marine Mammals Research Association to do a Bottlenose Dolphin Research. Here is the video about the experience. We've been lucky to encounter several dolphins and film them from the air.
