Research
Our research projects are mainly focused on monitoring the different cetacean populations that inhabit the Strait of Gibraltar, and the threats they face, such as maritime traffic or marine pollution. The Nereide association develops projects in collaboration with universities and other national and international organisations and also coordinates citizen science projects to monitor local fauna.
