TRAINING AND DISCLOSURE ABOUT MARINE MAMMALS CARE AND STUDY 2025

A CORUÑA

 

CEMMA launches the project “Training and dissemination on assistance and study of marine mammals” in collaboration with the Provincial Council of A Coruña, presenting two projects in each call: investments and activities

 

In the INVESTMENTS chapter through the call for aid corresponding to the DP0036 program: Aid Program for non-profit entities for the co-financing of investment projects in the field of the environment during 2025.
 
 
 

The main objective of the project is to provide resources for assistance and support to stranded animals and the study of their populations at the CEMMA headquarters in the province of A Coruña and to different Civil Protection groups and municipalities in the province, through the acquisition of two models to support the activities of rescue simulations of stranded cetaceans.

A model of a porpoise, Phocoena phocoena, 198 cm long, will be designed, based on a specimen stranded in 2024 on the beach of Baldaio, Carballo, A Coruña (Photos 1 and 2). Likewise, a faithful copy of a model of a striped dolphin, Stenella coeruleoalba, already existing, 167 cm long, with appropriate modifications based on a specimen stranded on the beach of Areamaior, Louro, Muros, at the beginning of 2025 (Photos 3 and 4), will be made. The technique will be in polyurethane resin and fiberglass with realistic external painting that reflects the species mentioned.

 

In the ACTIVITIES chapter through the call for aid corresponding to the DP0031 program: Aid Program for non-profit entities for the co-financing of activity projects in the field of the environment during 2025.
