Among the many marine species present in the canyon, two families of dolphins are resident there: the Tursiops truncatusclose to the coast, and Stenella coeruleoalbawhich can be seen further offshore. This underwater corridor is also a regular stopover for fin whalesthe sperm whales and other large deep-sea cetaceans.

To date, no other scientific or tourist organisation has visited this canyon as regularly or as actively as we have. For the last five years, our continuous presence has enabled us to gain a better understanding of the richness of this ecosystem and to monitor its evolution with total respect for living things.

This canyon has become our veritable open-air laboratory. The cetaceans we encounter here are entirely wild, living far from any human interaction. Human activity is extremely limited, reduced to a few trawlers that the animals instinctively avoid.

Our outings at sea enable us to test, evaluate and refine ethical, respectful and non-intrusive approach techniques. These experiments feed our expertise and enable us to pass on our methods to partner whale watching bases that we select in other parts of the world.

The Cadaqués base embodies the heart of our mission: a place for observation, innovation and sharing.
