Thank you for supporting our research and helping us collect data!

On this amazing day, with New Scientist group, we had a good sighting of 2 blue whales (Balaenoptera musculus). Closer to Pico island we saw some orcas (𝑂𝑟𝑐𝑖𝑛𝑢𝑠 𝑜𝑟𝑐𝑎) feeding on a turtle and a unique interaction with risso's dolphins (𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘮𝘱𝘶𝘴 𝘨𝘳𝘪𝘴𝘦𝘶𝘴). We were also able to see 2 humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae), Cory's shearwater (𝘊𝘢𝘭𝘰𝘯𝘦𝘤𝘵𝘳𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘰𝘳𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴) and Portuguese Man O'War (𝘗𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘢 𝘱𝘩𝘺𝘴𝘢𝘭𝘪𝘴)!
