ARURU
2018 - AUJ.
The aim of our surveillance project is to monitor better the cetaceans populations, more particularly the humpack whales, inside the French Polynesia sanctuary by studying the risk of collision.
To do so, our team realizes observations from the ferry boats operating in the channel between the islands of Tahiti and Moorea. Operating on-site allows us to better understand these unfortunate collisions to then be able to anticipate and prevent them in the future.
No such program existed before in French Polynesia.

La formation se déroule sur plusieurs jours au travers de 4 modules. Un module traite la cétologie, un autre module sert à les former au métier d'observateur de mammifères marins, un module de découverte des métiers de la mer avec des témoignages de professionnels ainsi qu'un module d'observation en mer.
LA CÉTOLOGIE
The MMO's mission is to observe the surroundings at sea using binoculars to see further.
This person should be standing on the deck permanently to be able to share with the Captain and crew any observation, in order to prevent collissions.
