SUBTITLE: UAn international project to evaluate the conservation status of the bottlenose dolphin in the Mediterranean Sea.
PERIOD: 2017-2019
SUMMARY: TursioMed is a research project to assess the conservation status of the bottlenose dolphin in the Mediterranean Sea through an international research and monitoring network. The project involved 28 research institutes from 8 Mediterranean countries, who shared the data collected between 2004 and 2017 on the Intercet platform (www.intercet.it). The analysis of aggregate data has made it possible to update scientific knowledge on the conservation status of the Mediterranean bottlenose dolphin.

TITLE:
SUBTITLE: An international network to study and protect Cetaceans in the Mediterranean Sea
PERIOD: 2020-2021
SUMMARY: Following the fruitful experience of TursioMed, the InterMed project was born with the aim of expanding and consolidating the international network for the study and protection of Mediterranean Cetaceans. This network will constitute the supporting structure for the implementation of the ACCOBAMS plans for the conservation and management of the bottlenose dolphin, the common dolphin and the Risso’s dolphin in the Mediterranean basin..
