OUR PROGRESS

Since 2011, we have 120+ scientific publications created by our Marine Biologists (from internship reports to PhD thesis, posters, papers, etc.) based on data collected during our Whale Watching tours

In 2022, our "Guardians of the Azores" citizen science project was Silver Award of WTM Responsible Tourism Awards 2022 (World Travel Market), in the category "Reduction of plastic waste in the environment"

Over the past 30 years, we established collaborations with local schools, steadfastly aiming to enlighten and inspire the younger generation of our community about Marine Wildlife and Environmental Conservation

We´ve always been committed to enable our community to have the true benefit from tourism economic prosperity, by the work with community-based institutions for vulnerable audiences
