'Life at sea is an adventure...' The first time I heard this sentence was at the Projeto Albatroz's video 'Sea Workers', during a Scientific Observer Course, and I had no idea how it would change my life.
Since my first contact with Projeto Albatroz four years ago, I've accomplished several scientific and fishing cruises (on commercial longline and leased fleets).
Now I've returned to work with the big albatrosses after a long journey and this time working on an important campaign. The Albatross Task Force is an important way to search for a positive coexistence between fishing activity and the conservation of marine life.
This week, I helped the other Brazilian Task Force member, Fabiano Peppes, to build a tori line and it was a good experience! Hopefully next week I will accomplish my first Albatross Task Force trip, leaving from Itajaí port, testing the tori line.
I will be back in early May, so please wait for the news from this trip.
