ACCOBAMS' 5th Conference on Cetacean Conservation for South Mediterranean Countries

We joined an online conference by the ACCOBAMS 5th Conference on the Conservation of Marine Mammals for Southern Mediterranean Countries yesterday.
In the online presentation, the details of our work, which has been going on since 2018, were shared. Our Founder and Scientific Director, Dr Aylin Akkaya shared, obtained datas about our research in the Eastern Mediterranean and the anthropogenic effects on marine mammals in her presentation.

Even while Tim was on a short recovery break after his accident, it was a real relief and a proud moment to know that Francesca Soster was presenting Plotting the Wild's early results on species distribution modelling for cetacean conservation in Malta at ECS2025. It’s been a pleasure collaborating with Francesca and the rest of the team on this work. And… exciting news — the paper has just been accepted for publication! Keep your eyes peeled for its release 👀
