Yesterday I was invited to the first meeting of the "Echo Whale Alliance" near my village. My director of the company ESSIPIT had asked me to join him because I am for the first time present in the region. The company I work with on the river is a member of this group.

Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) and fin whales (Balaenoptera physalus)! I start my season on the water next week and already the good news are coming!

Recently, I took a marine training course to work for private companies in winter. Teams are sent out to analyze the environment and prospect at sea or on the coast. So I'd be observing marine mammals and noting their disturbance.

I'm doing a 6-day training course in my field in Grande-Rivière (Gaspésie, Quebec - Canada) because it's important. The theme of the course is "Marine Mammal Observer (MMO) and Passive Acoustic System Operator".

It was necessary to clarify my professional situation.
Since I have been working with marine mammals, I have received hundreds of applications for internships and jobs at my side.

My 2011 season in Canada as a whale watching boat captain will have a new beginning. Indeed, the boat companies and the local authorities have published a "Guide of eco responsible practices for boat captains".

It's been a week since I arrived in the "Dominican Republic" and already 6 sea trips.

The NGO "RESEAU CETACES" (France) has agreed to let me put online their list of captive orcas worldwide. Very interesting and useful!

I went to the Atlantic coast in 2000, exactly to "Les Sables d'Olonnes", with the LPO (Ligue de Protection des Oiseaux), after the sinking of the ERIKA.
