There are many initiatives that Menkab has been successfully conducting since 2010: from the Ishmael project, dedicated to studying ecosystems at risk for sperm whales in order to reduce human impact on them, to the Giohna project, a study of the habitats and movements of the bottlenose dolphin, a species of dolphin, to create a map of ecosystems and identify areas to be protected.
Then there is the Whalesafe project, which aims to develop a technology to prevent possible collisions between ships and schools of sperm whales through a complex system of frequencies. In addition to the ecological study of cetaceans and the seabed in order to improve sustainability and reduce the environmental impact of human activities, Menkab also carries out training activities: over the years, courses in marine biology and ecology have been organised in the field, as well as sperm whale recognition classes at sea.
In addition to these activities, Menkab also works tirelessly to raise awareness - directly and indirectly - for the protection of the marine ecosystem, through photographic workshops in the open sea, marine 'safaris' for filmmakers and weekend trips to discover whales and dolphins. Because, in order to take the protection of the sea to heart and act for its preservation, one must first fall in love with it: this is the star that shines on Menkab and always illuminates its course.
