Muito Obrigado! Thank you for supporting our research and help us collect data.
We recorded cetacean numbers, behavior and photo-ID, counted Portuguese man-o-war aggregations and sizes

During our morning trip, we were able to spot two Humpback whales (Megaptera novaeangliae) foraging with Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis), Common dolphins (Delphinus delphis), Brown booby (Sula leucogaster) and Cory's Shearwater (Calonectris borealis). Then, we assisted to a negative interaction between the common dolphins and Bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus). Although both resident, the last species can show quite aggressive and territorial behaviour.
Later, we had a new passenger in our boat! The great Brown booby that took a free ride to rest for a bit :)
We hope you enjoyed your trip & see you again on another opportunity!
