WHY BLUE LIFE COSTA RICA

We create first oceanic education and volunteer centre in the province of Guanacaste in Costa Rica. Main objectives are to realise educational programs for children and to do monitoring of the underwater world in Santa Elena Bay. This site is a key destination for migrating humpback whales, which arrive between July and March to mate, give birth and raise their young before their oceanic journey back to Antarctica (Southern population) and California (Central American population). Another of our goals is monitoring of fish, like sharks and rays, which are at risk of illegal fishing.

SIGNIFICANCE OF THE OCEAN MONITORING

We will monitor whales and dolphins in cooperation with marine biologist Frank Garita, who has been studying marine mammals for more than 20 years. We become his field team, which will carry out monitoring at sea from a boat, under the sea surface with help of divers or with drone. The monitoring of whales and dolphins will serve to international marine biological research and for educational purposes also.
