At a meeting with our partners in Brazil, Dr. Lorenzo von Fersen signed a cooperation agreement on behalf of YAQU PACHA with GEMARS regarding collaboration in the fields of education, science, technology, and culture.
Close cooperation with local organizations in South America is crucial to the successful implementation of our projects.
There were also discussions with fishermen participating in our joint activities to reduce dolphin bycatch. Here, objects (empty plastic bottles) are currently being tested in fishing nets so that the nets can be detected and avoided by dolphins. This is a cost-effective alternative to acoustic signals (pingers).
