游客被要求在凯库拉帮忙数鲸鱼

Share:

你有没有考虑过数鲸鱼作为一项有趣的冬季活动?新西兰大凯库拉鲸群正在从6月27日至7月10日寻找志愿者。凯库拉海洋研究所(KORI)于2020年启动了这个项目,当时旅游公司因Covid-19的限制而关闭。

该项目的目标是估计在南极洲附近的南大洋的觅食地和气候温暖时繁殖地之间迁徙的鲸鱼数量。由于缺乏资金,计票暂停了一年,但KORI董事乔迪·威尔博士证实,凯库拉区议会已经获得了资金。

每年有来自全国各地的近200名志愿者协助进行统计。在这三年中,KORI观察到鲸鱼(包括座头鲸)和大量小牛的数量有所增加。威尔博士说:“在2022年最好的日子里,我们统计了40只座头鲸,还有逆戟鲸、抹香鲸和蓝鲸。”

2020年5月,当地旅游运营商WhaleWatch和Dolphin Encounter因新冠疫情而关闭,但鲸鱼仍在迁徙。没有工作并领取政府补贴的人以及被困在该地区的游客被派去提供帮助。

KORI已获得该委员会的资助,用于资助一些实习,允许学生帮助开展包括鲸鱼数量在内的各项计划。如果天气允许,从6月27日至7月10日,每天上午10点至下午4点,志愿者将在凯库拉半岛的监测站观察鲸鱼。

6月27日将在凯库拉博物馆举行训练课程,6月29日星期六和7月7日星期日将有免费活动庆祝鲸鱼。欲了解更多信息,你可以联系 gkwc2024@gmail.com。
