“The Risso’s Project” ALNITAK Research Institute
Risso’s dolphins are a lesser-known and mysterious species of cetacean, recently classed as Endangered in the Mediterranean by the IUCN.
Since 2018 ALNITAK has been focused on monitoring the population around the Balearic Islands (Spain), compiling a photo-identification catalogue and collecting data on their presence around the islands, with a focus on marine protected areas (MPAs) such as the Cabrera Archipelago National Park.
For this video I sat down with their researcher Alexander Sánchez Jones to give a brief introduction to the project.
