Friends of Dolphins
We are the promoters of the Mediterranean network "Friends of Dolphins" for cooperation in the research and safeguard of marine mammals carried out by different categories of workers at sea. We have created a network of friends who share our same passion for the sea and, above all, the constant commitment to protecting the vulnerable marine species of Sicilian waters. They are organizations of fishers, tourist operators and diving centers who adhere to the "Friends of Dolphins" protocol, promising to respect a code of good conduct during their observation, and to report any useful sightings to Marecamp for scientific and conservation purposes.
