Dr. Lorenzo von Fersen signed a cooperation agreement with GEMARS on behalf of YAQU PACHA during a meeting with our partners in Brazil, outlining collaboration in the fields 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 participating in our joint activities to reduce dolphin bycatch. Currently, objects (empty plastic bottles) are being tested in the fishing nets so that the nets can be detected and avoided by dolphins. This is a cost-effective alternative to acoustic signals (pingers).
