, Group fidelity, calving intervals), abundance estimates and behavior this research will increase our understanding of this dolphin species and its ecology within the local estuary, as well as provide the necessary information for federal and state agencies to prepare marine mammal management policy in the future. New individuals will be catalogued when distinguishable marks can be noted, always in comparison with the main catalogue. The results of this research will contribute toward increasing theunderstanding of the tucuxi dolphin population in the epaa and its surroundings, especiallyregarding population estimates and trends on a long-term scale. Important information on delphinus taxonomy (santos et al.

Volunteers who are chronically or habitually seasick insmall boats are probably best advised not to apply, although an inflatable is more stable thanmost other craft of a similar size.

" Words such as"working/volunteering," "research" or a "scientific expedition" can raise questions concerningthe country's foreign labor laws and/or prompt questions about official scientific researchpermits and credentials, etc. After 16 months of effort to recover dead cetaceans along 115 km of beach, the tucuxi was the most common species found. Volunteers will help each other in all responsibilitiessuch as data sheets filling and material maintenance. Comhere are some frequently asked questions about visas: What kind of visa do i need? Earthwatch volunteers, who require a visa for entrance, will need a tourist visa.

My studies have been proving that most of them are long-term residents and also that this site represents an important breeding and calving area. Most of these individuals have been observed since may 2000, and we have recorded a history of their interactions with other population members. On-site briefings will include boat operation and safety at sea, a description of equipment careand handling, the recording of weather conditions, cetaceans' ecology and identification in thefield, aspects of the history and objectives of the project, bird watching, historical and culturalaspects of the region, and conservation issues and policies of the epaa.

Dams and hydroelectric powerfacilities may isolate populations and interrupt fish migration as well as reduce fish abundance. Affixing artificial tags on individuals and identifying them by their unique markings have proven very useful in wild cetacean population studies. And what are marine mammals doing at this atlantic forest reserve? Pinnipeds (seals and sea lions) use local coastal beaches for resting purposes mainly in winter months.

Daily schedules and boat work are entirely weather dependent. Lots of waterfalls can be found within the area. The local estuary is surrounded by a large mangrove area and contains high concentrations of nutrients, zooplancton, shrimps, and fish (besnard 1950, schaeffer-novelli et al.
