Observe marine mammals without disturbing them : Eco-citizen actions to protect biodiversity

Abstract

In order to support commercial marine mammal watching operators to develop a sustainable and responsible whale watching activity and promote a quality tourism offer, this poster guides and illustrates the information that can be delivered to clients by operators during a cetacean watching trip. It also contains Eco-citizen actions to protect biodiversity. This educational material was developed in the framework of the CARI’MAM project by the Regional Activity Center for the Specially Protected Areas and Wildlife Protocol of the Wider Caribbean Region (SPAW RAC) of the Cartagena Convention.
