Volunteers actively collaborate in the collection of field data on cetaceans, and they are requested to help in all project activities. These may include recording navigation data, plotting sighting positions on a navigation chart, loading data in the computer, collecting ecological and behavioural data, noting photo-identification data and helping with the identification of individual whales and dolphins. Volunteers are given daily lectures on cetacean research and conservation. Volunteers and researchers alike take part in cooking and cleaning shifts.
