The remnants of the sperm whale of Citara, 1771, the first documented stranding in Campania region, are exhibited for the first time in occasion of the Dolphin Day, 10th of May 2006.
Cari amici, nella primavera di quest’anno abbiamo effettuato un’operazione unica nello scenario delle organizzazioni che si occupano di balene e delfini in Mediterraneo: abbiamo deciso di sposare la logica del “fare squadra”, dell’unire le forze, dando vita ad un’unica Associazione, Oceanomare-Delphis Onlus, che nasce dalla fusione di Oceanomare (www.oceanomare.info) e di Delphis MDC (www.delphismdc.org), due enti non profit attivi da anni nel campo dello studio e della salvaguardia dei Cetacei.
Abbiamo infatti avvertito la necessità di lavorare in maniera sinergica, creando una più grande organizzazione, proprio al fine di continuare ad operare per la conoscenza e conservazione di balene e delfini dei nostri mari con un approccio più moderno, internazionale e qualificato.
Today, at 5 pm, Delphis gave a meeting on cetaceans to the volunteers, friends and patients of Casa dei Gelsi, the hospice Advar managed to put up in Treviso, thanks to the commitment and solidarity of many people. The meeting, titling “Whales and dolphins, between dream and reality” brought participants into the world of marine mammals. This was an important moment for Delphis to celebrate these holidays, at the end of the year, by supporting life’s dignity.

CETACEAN GROUP SIBM

Wednesday, 16 December 2009
The S.I.B.M. (Italian Marine Biology Society) Board of Directors approved the institution of an operational group working on cetaceans within the Society. Delphis is part of the group together with several other associations and companies.
The group’s aim is to improve and normalize cetacean research methods and techniques through a continuous collaboration and information exchange among the Italian researchers who are involved in the group’s activities.
Intention of the group is to give particular consideration to the methods and techniques necessary to the capture of data and information on the state of those cetacean species inhabiting Italian waters, in particular with regard to: presence, abundance, etho-ecological habits, behavior, habitat use.
The participation to the activities initiated by S.I.B.M. will allow the group, mostly consisting of researchers specialized on cetacean research, to share their own experience with that of other Italian researchers in marine biology and to establish transversal collaborations with other active groups within the same Society.
Those interested in joining the group are encouraged to contact Dr. Guido Gnone (e-mail:
tel.: 010 2345217/285), who undertook the role of coordinator of the group.
