Publicationsresults are to be written as scientific papers and submitted to well known peer reviewedjournals, e. Collecting data on tucuxi calving intervals, the period calves spend with their mothers, the seasonality of births, and which dolphins use local beaches to catch food will help us understand not only this population's ecology, but will also yield important information on this little-studied species. Both land and boat-based photo-identification efforts have been conducted since may 1996. Use of areaboth land-based and boat-based observations will provide important clues to better comprehend how local tucuxis use their habitat.

All the field investigations as well as laboratory tasks need to be carried out by focused people.

We offer Ilhaus tours, industry leading yacht charter tours solutions, Vacations to Brazil information, and yacht charter tours tips. See Salvador tours.

A first-aid kit is on board at all times. The researchfocuses on the species' southernmost population located within a national protected areaestablished to protect dolphins. We have been receiving around 6,000 visits per month. They also will help inmeasuring and recording environmental variables (wind speed and direction, water temperature,water depth, bottom sediment, water transparency).

If extremely necessary, there are restroom facilities along the research area and stops may be possible if requested. You will be accommodated in a comfortable house by the beach in north bay, located close todowntown florian�polis. Photo-identification studies in a few of these areas have demonstrated that at leastsome animals are resident year-round and have populated the regions for up to ten continuousyears (e. Two types ofsurveys are conducted, always without following a regular course: (A) focal-group sampling,when the same animals are observed and photographed until the end of the survey and (b)"random surveys," when the group is left once it is concluded that most individuals werephotographed and the survey is resumed.

Insome localities, they are killed on occasions for shark bait or human consumption, though mythsand legends are a source of protection for the tucuxis, especially in the amazon. Boat-based volunteers and researcher will have lunch onboard (sandwiches, beverages, and fruits). These cases involved 4 of the 7 species already reported in brazil. All group members will be photographed, as often as possible.

Volunteers are expected to maintain an equally positive attitude toward the crew, research andeach other.
