and study of cetaceans in the Gulf of Taranto, Northern Ionian Sea
(southern Italy).
The December
2025 edition will take place from 9–15 December, offering a one-week
immersive training program designed for students, early-career researchers, and
anyone interested in gaining practical skills in marine mammal science.
