On this Philippine Siren special itinerary: Southern Leyte and Bohol, you are invited to join in for exploratory dives to deploy or retrieve acoustic receivers at multiple sites along the route of the trip, including Cabilao, Balicasag, and Pamilacan. Your help is also greatly appreciated with Photo ID research to mantas, turtles and whale sharks.

This trip, Gonzalo Araujo from LAMAVE will be on board and will give several presentations explaining LAMAVE’s research and how it can lead to conservation. He is an expert on whale shark research and conservation across different locations in the Philippines.

LAMAVE - Large Marine Vertebrates Research Institute Philippines - is the largest independent non- governmental organisation dedicated to conservation of marine megafauna and protection of their habitats in the Philippines. Besides their research activities, an equally important part of their work is providing information, education and raising awareness.

Siren Fleet embraces LAMAVE’s work and objectives and we will donate a portion of all income of this cruise to them.
