Palma Yacht Crew Vlogs: Guest Brad Robertson of Save the Med
Season 1, Episode 30, May 06, 2020, 07:00 AM
Brad has just embarked on a new study. He is asking for all sea lovers in the Med to participate in their findings. If you are interested, here is Brad's words!
HELP US COLLECT DATA ON LOCAL MARINE LIFE
We are living during completely unprecedented times. All over the internet, we have seen videos of marine animals said to be “reclaiming” their territory near coastlines, bays and beaches. Are these just false rumours or is marine wildlife really changing its behaviour?
Join Save The Med in a citizen science experiment as we set out to discover if and how the lockdown following the Covid-19 outbreak has potentially affected marine life in the Balearic Sea. As the Balearic Government slowly allows us to return to maritime activities we have a short window of opportunity to observe nature during a unique time in history.
To participate, use our questionnaire to record your observations from a particular area of the sea or coast. Write down what information you can, using either our online form or by printing the questionnaire. If you have photos or videos to share with us, even better. We ask you to report your observations whether you have seen something unusual or not. Both types of information are important for us to be able to draw unbiased conclusions.
Our only requirement is that you must already be familiar with the area you observe and its local fauna. This is because we are not just looking for information on the presence of animals, but of differences in their usual abundance and/or behaviour.
Whether you are a sailor, fisherman, diver, surfer, photographer etc. your observations matter! Please share this project with your seafaring friends and colleagues.
Thank you for sharing your knowledge and passion for the sea with Save The Med!
