- Summary:
- This is the story of one woman's battle to save the dolphins in the Straits of Gibraltar. That's where the cool waters of the Atlantic Ocean meet the warm Mediterranean Sea, offer a rich combination of nutrients that make it an ideal home for dolphins, whales, orcas and turtles. Whale watching, the viewing of these beautiful creatures in their natural habitat from small boats, has become a multi-million euro industry in Tarifa and the surrounding areas, and biologists and politicians alike are eager to encourage this eco-tourism to ensure a gentle, more sustainable development, avoiding the 24 hour party scene that dominates the concrete jungles of the Costa del Sol. However, the complex geopolitics of the Straits are placing ever-increasing pressures on these animals, raising great concern from both national and international scientific communities about their long term survival.
