Thanks to decades of effort, government funding is now also available for research into whales and dolphins in the Strait of Gibraltar, and various protective measures have been put in place.

I have been actively involved with firmm for several months now, supporting their important work to protect the marine environment. Some time ago, I had the opportunity to accompany WeWhale and witness their valuable contribution first-hand.

The foundation Etoile Filante (english: shooting star) is dedicated to bringing moments of happiness to children living with an illness or disability. Based in Lausanne, the foundation has its head office in the German-speaking part of Switzerland, in Zurich.

In July and August, firmm organises 3-hour excursions to observe orcas when they come to catch bluefin tuna from the lines of the fishermen in the Strait of Gibraltar.
