Annales, Series Historia Naturalis, 19(1), 25-30. New record of the humpback whale ( Megaptera novaeangliae) in the Adriatic Sea. Long-distance movement of a lone short-beaked common dolphin Delphinus delphis in the central Mediterranean Sea.
Bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus) in Slovenian and adjacent waters (northern Adriatic Sea). Genov T., Kotnjek P., Lesjak J., Hace A., Fortuna C.Upon leaving the animals, minimum speed is maintained until at least 200 m from the animals.No feeding of the dolphins or swimming with them is allowed.No sonars or sounders are used during dolphin encounters.If animals show signs of disturbance, the encounter is terminated.Behaviour is constantly monitored for potential signs of disturbance.The time spent with the animal is kept to a minimum required to collect necessary data.A distance of at least 20 m from the animals is maintained, unless the animals approach the boat themselves.Sudden changes of speed or direction are avoided.Dolphins are not approached head-on or directly from their rear.Dolphins are approached slowly, taking a route parallel to their course.Maintaining minimal boat speed in the vicinity of dolphins.
#DA SLAVANIA CODE#
Morigenos applies these guidelines, and the following code of conduct during dolphin encounters: It is considered, that encounters with cetaceans are not disturbance, if they are in line with ACCOBAMS whalewatching guidelines: Morigenos conducts research with a permit. In addition, Slovenia is a party to several international conventions and agreements, including CMS (Convention on Migratory Species) and ACCOBAMS (Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Contiguous Atlantic Area).Ĭonducting research, that includes taking of samples of animals or disturbing them to the level that that influences their lifecycle, requires a permit.
Slovenia is a member of the European Union, and all the relevant European legislation therefore applies. Females with calves are regularly observed.Įach year between June and September, Morigenos organises several 10-day Dolphin Research Courses in Piran, where anyone can become a member of the research team and help study dolphins in their natural environment.Īll whale and dolphin species are legally protected in Slovenia, thus prohibiting any killing of animals or taking samples of them or deliberately disturbing them to the level that influences their lifecycle. Dolphins use this area for all important activities, including feeding, socialising and resting, as well as for breeding and nursing. They can be seen year-round and along the entire Slovenian coastline. Research carried out since 2002 by Morigenos – Slovenian Marine Mammal Society has shown that about 150 common bottlenose dolphins live here. Target species, peak times of year and locations: Other species such as striped dolphins, common dolphins or fin whales are recorded more rarely. Slovenian and adjacent waters are home to a resident population of common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus), which live here year-round. Slovenia’s coastline is very short, but features a range of coastal and marine habitat types.
Slovenia is known for its natural beauty, including dramatic alpine peaks and cliffs that overlook the sea.
