🐋 Watch the highlights from year two of our collaborative efforts to safeguard one of the Mediterranean's most endangered species in the Kythira Strait. In the video: ➡️ 2025 fieldwork highlights ➡️ Behind-the-scenes at the project's Steering Committee meeting ➡️ The Greek government's continued commitment to protecting sperm whales About SAvE Whales: This innovative system (System for the Avoidance of ship-strikes with Endangered Whales) addresses the greatest threat to sperm whales: collisions with ships. Using pioneering technology, it serves as a complementary tool to protect this critical population, first discovered in the Hellenic Trench in 1998. A true collaborative effort: Scientists, civil society, and the Greek government are joining forces to harness innovation for marine biodiversity protection. Following a successful pilot project (2019-2021), a Memorandum of Understanding signed in June 2024 provides for full implementation of the system in the Kythira Strait by 2028. 🎞️ Watch the video and follow this year's journey. #SpermWhales #MarineConservation #ShipStrikes #Mediterranean #OceanProtection
