Movie of the week: The Cove on RTV SLO

This Wednesday, 2nd February 2011 at 20.00, a documentary The Cove will be screened on Slovenian TV channel SLO 1. The film talks about secretive and cruel activities that are taking place in Japan, involving the multi-billion-dollar industry of dolphin captivitiy and the industry of dolphin meat trade. Richard O'Barry, a former dolphin trainer, gathers an unusual team - experts in underwater and secret filming, marine researchers, former military experts, top divers - in order to break the barrier of silence and expose the horrible secret to the world.

In 2010 and 2011, Morigenos is participating in the promotion and the screening of the film in Slovenia, in collaboration with Demiurg and Kinodvor.

More about the film: The Cove

A note to foreigners who happen to be in Slovenia this week: Films in Slovenia are subtitled. So even if you do not speak Slovene, you can still see the movie and understand exactly what it's about!

Film tedna: Skriti zaliv na RTV SLO

V sredo, 2. februarja 2011, ob 20.00, bo na sporedu SLO 1 dokumentarni film Skriti zaliv (The Cove). Film govori o prikritih in krutih aktivnostih, ki se dogajajo na Japonskem, v kar sta vpleteni tudi milijonska industrija vodnih zabavišč in industrija trgovanja z delfinjim mesom. Richard O'Barry, nekdanji trener delfinov, ki je zaslovel z nadaljevanko Flipper, zato okrog sebe zbere nevsakdanjo skupino strokovnjakov – mojstrov za podvodno in skrivno snemanje, morskih raziskovalcev, nekdanjih vojaških ekspertov, vrhunskih potapljačev –, da bi skrivoma predrli ogrado molka in svetu predstavili grozodejstva v tem zalivu.

Društvo Morigenos, v sodelovanju z distributerjem Demiurg in mestnim kinom Kinodvor, v letih 2010 in 2011 sodeluje pri in predvajanju filma.

Press conference on sea dates

A press conference of the project »Sea dates, no thanks!« was held on Wednesday, 19.1.2011 in Strunjan, attended also by Morigenos team. A new brochure about the project was published and the first year’s activities presented. Morigenos, as a partner, promoted the project during the 6^th Dolphin Day in Piran. First results are very encouraging, as the information about the issue is spreading among people. The Slovenian crime police, in cooperation with fishery inspectors, customs management and veterinary inspection, carried out several seizures of sea dates and started several legal procedures against smugglers.

Novinarska konferenca o morskih datljih

V sredo, 19.1.2011 je v Strunjanu potekala novinarska konferenca o projektu »Morski datlji, ne hvala!«, ki smo se je udeležili tudi člani društva Morigenos. Izdana je bila nova zloženka ter predstavljeno delovanje in aktivnosti v prvem letu delovanja projekta. Projekt smo med drugim na 6. Dnevu delfinov predstavili tudi mi, ker pri njem aktivno sodelujemo. Prvi rezultati so zelo vzpodbudni, saj so bile informacije uspešno posredovane tako gostincem kot potrošnikom. Izvedena je bila tudi akcija kriminalistične policije, ki je v sodelovanju z ribiškimi inšpektorji, carinsko upravo in veterinarsko inšpekcijo izvedla več zasegov morskih datljev in sprožila več postopkov proti tihotapcem.

New year, new sightings

This year we started fieldwork very early, with the first boat trips in the last few days. Despite the thick fog and bitter cold, we had some luck and encountered some of our known dolphin friends. One of them was Aaron (on the photo), a dolphin we first met in 2006.

Novo leto, nova opažanja

Letos smo terensko delo začeli že zelo zgodaj, saj smo v preteklih dneh že opravili prve izhode s čolnom. Kljub zelo gosti megli in mrazu smo imeli srečo in srečali nekaj naših starih znancev. Med njimi je bil delfin Aaron (na sliki), ki ga poznamo od leta 2006.
