The implementation of ethical and sustainable cetacean tourism in French Polynesia.
It had been a while since many of you encouraged us to display new information and awareness panels about the dolphins of Rangiroa. Our program left us little time to get to it, but here they are at last, initially in French and English! The objective of these panels is to briefly present the dolphins of Tiputa and the local context of marine wildlife observation.
For this project, we are happy to have been able to benefit from the support of our eco-volunteers for the writing, proofreading, and translation of the texts, as well as their advice on the composition of the panels! Thanks also to the Rangiroa Diving Center, which allows us to use a nice location within its center for their display!
The dolphin gallery
Afin de promouvoir le partage d’informations sur les grands dauphins de la zone de Tiputa, l’association ‘Dauphins de Rangiroa’ a commencé à distribuer le trombinoscope des grands dauphins de Tiputa auprès de différentes structures locales liées au tourisme - centres de plongée, pensions, comité du Tourisme, etc. Ce poster illustre les silhouettes des ailerons des dauphins membres de la communauté de Tiputa, leur sexe et le nom qui leur a été donné au sein de nos catalogues. Même si d’autres critères morphologiques, pigmentaires et comportementaux peuvent nous aider à reconnaître les individus, il s’agit de la manière la plus universelle d’identifier les dauphins.
Ça y est, le nouveau catalogue d'identification des dauphins de Rangiroa, que nous appelons trombinoscope, est arrivé ! Grand format, résistant aux intempéries, pièces détachables et photos : voilà qui va faciliter le travail de nos volontaires ! :-)
Book a talk
Every Sunday, by prior booking, the association runs a talk called “A short history of the bottlenose dolphins of Rangiroa”, where we answer the many questions people ask about the dolphins. How many are there? Why are they so at ease around humans? Does that familiarity carry risks? And so on.
