Dear Marmam colleagues, the Tethys Research Institute is a non-profit research organisation based in Italy, supporting marine conservation through science and public awareness, founded in 1986. Tethys’ goal is the conservation of the marine environment and its biodiversity, achieved through the provision of scientific knowledge to the national and international marine conservation processes, public awareness and education. In almost 30 years of Tethys Research Institute activity, thousands of volunteers from around the world have participated in our long-term “Citizen Science” research projects, where amateur or non-specialised people are actively involved in scientific research. This year the Tethys Research Institute, for those wishing to participate in our research expeditions, is offering two destinations to choose from: You can either join the Ionian Dolphin Project in Vonitsa to study dolphins in the beautiful setting of Ionian Greece, or get a place on board the sailing vessel "Pelagos" to participate in our Cetacean Sanctuary Research project to work in whales and dolphins research in the Ligurian Sea, Italy. Project participants will have a unique opportunity to live in close contact with those who have dedicated their lives to the study of cetaceans, while giving us a real support during our fieldwork. Detailed information for those interested in joining us and share with us an unforgettable experience can be found in the following links: Ionian Dolphin Project (Greece) http://www.tethys.org/tethys/join-us/idp-expeditions/ Cetacean Sanctuary Research (Italy) http://www.tethys.org/tethys/join-us/csr-expeditions/ Those willing to join us or having any queries about our citizen-science programs are encourage to contact us at *tethys@tethys.org <mailto:tethys@tethys.org>* _______________________________________________________ Tethys Research Institute Viale G.B.
