Dear Risso’s dolphin enthusiasts,
We are excited to announce that our workshop, Keep on Gramping 3.0, has been officially accepted for the
2025 European Cetacean Society Conference in Ponta Delgada!
Workshop Details:

Many of you were already aware that we were working on this, and now it is officially confirmed!
Information about the workshop will be uploaded soon on the ECS website too.
Call for Presentations:
We will kick off the workshop with a series of brief presentations (5-10 minutes) from researchers
worldwide, focusing on Risso’s dolphins. Our aim is to provide a broad perspective on the current status of
the species across different regions, with a particular emphasis on conservation.
If you’d like to present your latest findings on the Risso’s dolphin population you study, we invite you to
submit a proposal!
To apply, please send an email to me [arianna.fornaroli@outlook.com] and/or Karin Hartman
[oceanwatch@gmail.com] with:
-Your name & affiliation
-Title of your presentation
-Study area covered
-Whether you’ll attend in person or remotely (for logistic reasons)
Please note that due to time constraints, we may not be able to accommodate all presentation requests.
However, we will keep you updated as the program takes shape.
If you have any suggestions, feel free to share them! Looking forward to hearing from you and hopefully

Have a look at Donatello the pilot whale that is our record holder in terms of deployment time of a satellite tag: on 5 January he reached 180 days almost 6 months!
During the first five months he seemed totally resident around Madeira but in the last month he started moving- to the Canary islands displaying a totally different movement profile.
That reminds us that findings based on short deployments have limited value unless you have a sufficient number of deployments. We deployed 4 other satellite tags on pilot whales in cooperation with Filipe Alves and Marc Fernandez from MARE Madeira this summer and they already had tagged 16 pilot whales before that. So we are hopeful that this combination will produce some meaningful insights into pilot whales’ dsitribution patterns in Macaronesia.
