Based on the island of Reunion in the Indian Ocean, the DAREWIN program (www.darewin.org) studies acoustic and ethology on Humpback Whales, Bottlenose Dolphins and Sperm Whales. We work with different organizations: the NGO Abyss (www.abyss.re), the FFESSM (www.ffessm.fr) and various private operators. This project is conducted under the scientific supervision of laboratories, with a multidisciplinary and international scientific committee.
