The St. Maarten Nature Foundation is launching, for the sixth time, its annual marine mammal monitoring project, which will last until next May. In collaboration with many partners - Dolphin Defenders St. Maarten, the nature reserves of Saint-Martin and Saint-Barthélemy, the Dutch Caribbean Nature Alliance, etc. - the foundation will carry out a large-scale census of all marine mammals present in the territorial waters of the island, including the Man of War Shoal Marine Park. From February to May, hundreds of humpback whales migrate from the North Atlantic to the Caribbean area to give birth and care for their young before heading north, according to Tadzio Bervoets, head of the foundation. _EH
