TRAINING IN THE FIELD

Do you have a scientific background and wish to learn more about cetaceans?

The field training is for you!

Since Association ELI-S is a non-profit organisation, a financial contribution is requested to participate in our training sessions in Central America in order to cover the costs related to field missions (boat, fuel), to pay the supervising staff and other administrative costs related to the project. Since 2016, we have been able to financially help a dozen Nicaraguan families.
