The smile of the dolphins and the song of whales are 20.000.000 years old! For over 4 millenia they have been "impregnating" the Greek civilization, through art and science, but also through myths, legends and even the dreams of Greek people.

The Greek Seas are unexpectedly rich when it comes to marine life. Who could imagine that large whales like the sperm whale are permanent residents of the Greek waters. Nobody was aware of Moby Dick's presence until the Pelagos Cetacean Research Institute discovered the sperm whales off south Crete and later in the Ionian Sea and made them known through the media.

Pelagos Cetacean Research Institute is a Greek, scientific, non-profit organization, committed to the research and conservation of dolphins and whales and of their natural environment in Greece and the Mediterranean Sea as a whole.

Help our on-going efforts to conserve theses animals and keep them alive and smiling in the Greek waters. Contributions from supporters like you can help us continue the necessary scientific work for the conservation and sustainability of the most valuable pieces of our natural and cultural inheritance.
