Inquisitive and highly motivated people are needed for the whale project on the beautiful island of Tenerife. Among other things, the aim is to collect research data on the pilot whales that live here in order to protect the whale population. There also needs to be education about animal and environmental protection and the consequences of whaling.
Since the marine ecosystem is under massive threat, for example from overfishing or the huge amounts of waste in the sea, on the beaches and coasts, it is imperative that we take countermeasures. In order to raise awareness among people for marine and environmental protection, data must be collected and the population must be educated with the help of the data sets obtained.
