How amazing was this #ECSconference2025? 🐋🐬Extremely inspiring to meet 600+ fellow #cetacean enthusiasts and watch our #PhD students present their work. Fail of the week: we did not get a picture of the entire eWHALE „delegation“. #Azores #PontaDelgada #eDNA #citizenscience

Let's kick start with some sperm #whales just dozing off, somewhere around the #Azores islands after what must have been an exhausting day searching for squid. Enjoy.
