Study
campus for the Sword-fish project
Study
campus for the Sword-fish project is referred
to the "Sword-fish
capture monitoring"
( May-August
) The day after arrival, usually in the
morning, at 7/7.30, visitors embark on a
feluca; on board they will be given short
lessons concerning the "Strait"
characteristics, the fishing system and
in particular the sword-fish biology. During
the day people can collaborate with the
researchers in collecting data, have lunch
on board. The departure time is at about
5 p.m. but this interesting experience will
be repeated the day after. From these boats
it is possible to observe not only the sword-fish
but also other wonderful animals such as
whales, dolphins, giant devilray, sharks,
tuna-fishes, spearfish, sunfish, turtles
and other species which usually cross these
seas. Clothes must be light but it is also
important to wear hats, boat shoes and take
a suncream and a k-way for the windy days;
we suggest to bring a camera and a binoculars.
