Dr. Lorenzo von Fersen signed a cooperation agreement with GEMARS on behalf of YAQU PACHA during a meeting with our partners in Brazil. The agreement covers cooperation in the areas of education, science, technology, and culture.
Close cooperation with local organizations in South America is crucial for the successful implementation of our projects.
There were also discussions with fishermen who are participating in our joint activities to reduce dolphin bycatch. 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).
