Del dohodnine za slovenske delfine

Približuje se konec leta 2012 in z njim čas, ko še lahko enostavno in brezplačno pripomorete pri varstvu delfinov v slovenskem morju. Vsak davčni zavezanec lahko 0,5 % dohodnine podari organizaciji, ki deluje v javnem interesu. Namesto da celotno dohodnino oddate državi, lahko del te namenite za dobra dejanja! Le dobra tretjina dohodninskih zavezancev vsako letno izkoristi to možnost, zato večina teh sredstev, ki bi lahko pomagala dobrodelnim in neprofitnim organizacijam, ostaja neizkoriščenih. 

S prispevkom 0,5% dohodnine društvu Morigenos boste pripomogli k ohranjanju delfinov pri nas. Ves denar, ki ga bomo prejeli, bo namenjen znanstvenemu raziskovanju delfinov, analiziranju podatkov, podajanju smernic za ohranitev populacije delfinov v severnem Jadranu, izobraževalnim aktivnostim, spodbujanju varstva okolja in usposabljanju mladih ter razvijanju strokovnega kadra na področju morskih sesalcev. 

Postopek namenitve dohodnine je enostaven in vam ne bo vzel več kot nekaj minut. Z njim boste v kratkem času naredili veliko razliko. Opis postopka in naši podatki so dostopni tukaj. 

Pomagajte ohraniti delfine v slovenskem morju! Povejte svojim znancem in prijateljem, kako so lahko dobrodelni. 

Najlepša hvala za vaš prispevek!

Krilca (Wings) spreading happiness for 5 years

Krilca (Wings), gifts with magical powers, are celebrating 5 years today. With Krilca anyone can help change the world for the better. Beautiful and useful at the same time, even tough they can’t be touched or held. With them, you don’t make another ordinary purchase, but do a truly good deed. Money doesn’t go to the factory, but to someone in need. Purchase also doesn’t strain the environment, but makes a child, a dolphin or the community happy. Wings are therefore also excellent business gifts, since one can give an original and responsible gift to business partners. 

Umanotera, Slovenian foundation for sustainable development, ensures that the gift goes to the right hands. Partner organizations of Krilca receive the money to carry out their specified projects. Moreover, they prepare regular reports about the funds used, which can be found at www.krilca.si. Morigenos is one of the proud partners of Krilca. 

It is the right time of the year to become a part of Krilca and give a magical gift. Some gifts will travel far, others will stay in Slovenia. Certain gifts will bring prosperity to people, others will help animals. In any case, your move will bring a lot of happiness.

Krilca osrečujejo že pet let

Krilca, darila s čarobno močjo, danes praznujejo 5 let. S Krilci lahko vsakdo pripomore k spreminjanju sveta na bolje. Čudovito lepa so in koristna, pa čeprav jih ne morete prijeti. Z njimi ne opravite še enega nakupa, temveč naredite nadvse dobro delo. Vašega denarja ne dobi tovarna, temveč bitja v stiski. Vaš nakup ne obremeni okolja, temveč osreči zdaj otroka zdaj delfina zdaj skupnost. Krilca so tudi izvrstna poslovna darila, saj svoje poslovne partnerje obdarujete na izviren in odgovoren način. 

Darilo je vedno posredovano v prave roke, za kar poskrbi Umanotera, Slovenska fundacija za trajnostni razvoj. Partnerske organizacije Krilc prejmejo denar za neposredno izvajanje projektov. Redno pripravljajo poročila o porabljenih sredstvih, ki so objavljena na spletni strani www.krilca.si. Ponosen partner Krilc je tudi Morigenos. 

Čas obdarovanj se bliža, bodite del Krilc in podarite čarobno darilo. Nekatera darila bodo potovala daleč, nekatera v Slovenijo. Zaradi nekaterih bodo bolje zaživeli ljudje, zaradi drugih se bo lepše godilo živalim. V vsakem primeru bo vaša poteza povzročila eno samo veselje.

Morigenos president receives a prestigious international award

We are proud to announce that Tilen Genov, the founder and president of Morigenos, recently received a prestigious international award for his efforts in dolphin conservation in Slovenia. The award, known as the Alfred Toepfer Natural Heritage Scholarship, is awarded by EUROPARC Federation (International Federation of Protected Areas in Europe) and the Alfred Toepfer Foundation. Out of 43 candidates, the award was given to three young European conservationists, based on their existing achievements and proposed future work in the field of nature conservation. Apart from Tilen, the award was received by two young scientists from Belgium and Hungary. The scholarship enables the winners to undertake study visits to protected areas and conservation organizations in other European countries, in order to translate the gained knowledge into conservation practice within their respective countries. The award ceremony was held last Thursday, 25th October 2012, at the EUROPARC 2012 conference in Belgium. The event also marked the 20th anniversary of the European network of protected areas, called Natura 2000.

Morigenos team is very proud of Tilen and congratulates him for this achievement.

Predsednik društva Morigenos prejel prestižno mednarodno nagrado

S ponosom oznanjamo, da je Tilen Genov, ustanovitelj in predsednik društva Morigenos, za svoje delo na področju varstva delfinov v Sloveniji prejel prestižno mednarodno nagrado, ki jo podeljujeta federacija EUROPARC (mednarodna zveza zavarovanih območji v Evropi) ter fundacija Alfred Toepfer. Izmed 43 kandidatov je bila prestižna nagrada podeljena zgolj trem mladim znanstvenikom iz Evrope, za njihove dosedanje dosežke in predlagano nadaljnje delo na področju naravovarstva. Nagrado sta poleg Tilna prejela še mlada znanstvenika iz Belgije in Madžarske. Nagrada nagrajencem omogoča, da svoje strokovno znanje izpopolnijo z obiskom naravnih zavarovanih območij in naravovarstvenih organizacij drugod po Evropi in pridobljena znanja prenesejo v naravovarstveno prakso v svoji državi. Slavnostna podelitev je potekala prešnji četrtek, 25. oktobra 2012 v Belgiji, v sklopu konference EUROPARC 2012, v okviru katere so letos obeležili tudi 20. obletnico omrežja zavarovanih območij Natura 2000.

Nad Tilnovim uspehom smo v društvu Morigenos zelo ponosni in mu iskreno čestitamo.

Common dolphin in Piran Bay

The Morigenos team had another unusual sighting last night. While returning from fieldwork we encountered a short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis), right in front of the Piran harbour. As mentioned in one of our recent posts, this species has become very rare (despite its name) in the Adriatic Sea in the last thirty years. The dolphin appeared in good condition and was very playful, approaching our boat on several occasions. Based on the natural marks on its dorsal fin we quickly realised that this is not the female we monitored in 2010 and 2011. Instead, it is another dolphin that was initially sighted on the Italian side of the Gulf of Trieste last month. Even though such sightings of single animals do not indicate a return of the species to the Adriatic, we all still wish this was the case. If you happen to spot any dolphins in the northern Adriatic, please report your sightings to +38631771077 or morigenos(at)morigenos.org.

Navadni delfin v Piranskem zalivu

Ekipa društva Morigenos je včeraj zvečer zabeležila novo nenavadno opažanje, udeleženci tokratnega raziskovalnega tabora pa so imeli prav poseben privilegij. Ko smo se vračali s terena smo namreč pred piranskim mandračem naleteli na navadnega delfina (Delphinus delphis). Kot smo nedavno poročali, so v Jadranu opažanja te vrste (kljub imenu) v zadnjih tridesetih letih izjemno redka. Delfin je bil videti v dobrem stanju in precej igriv, saj je večkrat priplaval prav pod naš čoln. Po naravnih oznakah na njegovi hrbtni plavuti smo hitro ugotovili, da ne gre za samico, ki smo jo spremljali v letih 2010 in 2011, temveč za drugega delfina, ki je bil prejšnji mesec prvič opažen na italijanski strani Tržaškega zaliva. Čeprav takšna posamična opažanja še ne pomenijo, da se ta izginula vrsta vrača v Jadransko morje, si vsi vseeno potihem želimo, da bi temu bilo tako. Če delfina slučajno opazite, vas prosimo, da nam to nemudoma sporočite na 031 77 10 77, saj nam tako pomagate pri spremljanju teh živali v naših vodah. Sorodna novica: Slovenski znanstveniki dokumentirali doslej najdaljše potovanje pri navadnem delfinu

Slovenian and Italian researchers document the longest movement ever recorded in a common dolphin

Morigenos researchers and their Italian colleagues have documented the longest movement ever recorded in the short-beaked common dolphin (Delphinus delphis). A female dolphin swam from Greece to the Gulf of Trieste, travelling more than 1000 km! Even though dolphins are known to be very mobile animals, this is the longest movement ever documented in this species, worldwide.

The study was recently published in the scientific journal Marine Biodiversity Records and involved researchers from Morigenos, Tethys Research Institute, Dolphin Biology & Conservation, and the Miramare marine reserve.

Morigenos researchers mostly study bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus), the only regular dolphin species in the northern Adriatic. But in 2010, in collaboration with colleagues from Miramare reserve, they recorded a female short-beaked common dolphin with her calf in the Gulf of Trieste. Seeing a common dolphin was surprising in its own right, as this species has virtually disappeared from the Adriatic Sea. But an even greater surprise came when researchers discovered that this dolphin had already been seen in Greek waters in 2008. A method called photo-identification was helpful here – individual dolphins can be identified by natural marks on their dorsal fins. Morigenos researchers photographed the dolphin and sent the photos to their colleagues at Tethys Research Institute, which study common dolphins in Greece. It turned out they already knew this particular dolphin.

Morigenos and Miramare researchers monitored the dolphin since then. She spent most of her time in the port of Monfalcone. The calf disappeared in the beginning of 2011. After that the female was often seen around Trieste until September 2011, when she disappeared as well.

The short-beaked common dolphin has been considered extirpated in the Adriatic Sea in the last 30 years, despite being common in the past. The most likely causes are deliberate killing in the previous century, as well as the ecosystem changes resulting from pollution and overfishing. The common dolphin has also became rare in other parts of the Mediterranean, except in the Alboran Sea. The nearest population to the Adriatic Sea is found in the Ionian Sea off the coasts of Greece.

With a single case being reported here, these findings about the long-distance movement cannot necessarily be generalised to the entire species. Unfortunately, this also does not mean the common dolphin is returning to the Adriatic. Still, this study shows the effectiveness of photo-identification in common dolphin research, and shows that international collaboration is vital to the study, monitoring and conservation of mobile marine species.

Slovenski znanstveniki dokumentirali doslej najdaljše potovanje pri navadnem delfinu

Raziskovalci društva Morigenos so v sodelovanju z italijanskimi kolegi dokumentirali doslej najdaljše potovanje oz. selitev pri navadnem delfinu (Delphinus delphis). Gre za samico, ki je na svoji poti od Grčije do Tržaškega zaliva preplavala več kot 1000 km! Čeprav je znano, da so delfini zelo mobilne živali, je to doslej najdaljša dokumentirana pot pri tej vrsti, kjerkoli na svetu.

V raziskavi, ki je bila nedavno objavljena v mednarodni strokovni reviji Marine Biodiversity Records, so poleg znanstvenikov iz društva Morigenos sodelovali še italijanski raziskovalci inštituta Tethys, skupine Dolphin Biology & Conservation in rezervata Miramare.

Raziskovalci društva Morigenos, ki se sicer ukvarjajo predvsem s preučevanjem velike pliskavke (Tursiops truncatus), edine stalne vrste delfinov v severnem Jadranu, so v sodelovanju s kolegi iz rezervata Miramare v letu 2010 v Tržaškem zalivu zabeležili samico navadnega delfina z mladičem. Opažanje je bilo že samo po sebi nekaj posebnega, saj navadnih delfinov v Jadranu praktično ni več. Še večje presenečenje pa je raziskovalce doletelo ob spoznanju, da je bil prav ta delfin leta 2008 že opažen v grških vodah. Pri tem so si pomagali z metodo imenovano foto-identifikacija – posamezne delfine je med seboj mogoče ločiti po naravnih oznakah na hrbtnih plavutih. Raziskovalci društva Morigenos so delfina fotografirali, fotografije pa poslali italijanskim kolegom inštituta Tethys, ki v Grčiji preučujejo prav to vrsto. Izkazalo se je, da tega delfina že poznajo.

Raziskovalci društva Morigenos in rezervata Miramare so delfinko opazovali in spremljali vse odtlej. Največ časa je preživljala v pristanišču Monfalcone (Tržič). Mladič je v začetku leta 2011 izginil, samico pa so nato v okolici Trsta videvali vse do septembra 2011, ko je tudi ona izginila.

Navadni delfin je vrsta, ki zadnjih 30 let v Jadranskem morju velja za izumrlo, čeprav je bila nekoč pogosta. Razlogi temu so predvsem načrtno pobijanje v prejšnjem stoletju ter ekosistemske spremembe, ki so posledica onesnaženja in prekomernega ribolova. Navadni delfin je danes redek tudi drugod v Sredozemlju, v večjem številu pa ga najdemo le še ob južni obali Španije. Nam najbližja populacija živi v Jonskem morju ob obalah Grčije.

Ker gre za en sam primer,  teh izsledkov seveda ne moremo posplošiti na celotno vrsto. Žal to tudi ne pomeni, da se navadni delfin vrača v Jadransko morje. Kljub temu ta raziskava kaže na učinkovitost foto-identifikacije pri preučevanju navadnih delfinov ter na pomembnost mednarodnega sodelovanja pri preučevanju, spremljanju in varstvu mobilnih morskih vrst.

Two striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba) in Portorož, Slovenia

Yesterday (5th June 2012) Morigenos received several reports of two dolphins sighted along the main beach and piers in Portorož, Slovenia. We responded and managed to identify the two animals as striped dolphins (Stenella coeruleoalba), which appeared in good condition. Examination of photographs revealed that these two dolphins have recently been sighted in a nearby Italian port of Grignano. As we reported in the scientific literature a few years ago, this species is occasional in this part of the Adriatic Sea (unlike the bottlenose dolphin, which is regular). If you spot any dolphins in Slovenian waters during the following days, or if you have spotted them recently, please report it at +386 31 77 10 77. This helps us monitor the occurrence of these animals in our waters. If you have any photos or video, we would also be very interested.

Dva navadna progasta delfina (Stenella coeruleoalba) v Portorožu

Društvo Morigenos je včeraj, 5. junija 2012, prejelo več klicev o dveh delfinih, ki sta se zadrževala ob plaži in pomolih v Portorožu. Zadevo smo preverili in ugotovili, da gre za dva navadna progasta delfina (Stenella coeruleoalba), ki sta zaenkrat videti v dobrem stanju. Po pregledu fotografij smo ugotovili, da gre za osebka, ki sta bila nedolgo nazaj že opažena v italijanskem pristanu Grignano. Ta vrsta se v Tržaškem zalivu pojavlja občasno (v nasprotju z veliko pliskavko, ki je tu stalna), o čemer smo v sodelovanju z Italijanskimi kolegi pred leti že objavili raziskavo v strokovni reviji Annales. Če v prihodnjih dneh na morju opazite delfine, ali pa ste jih opazili v preteklih dneh, vas prosimo, da nam to sporočite na številko 031 77 10 77 in nam tako pomagate spremljati pojavljanje teh živali v naših vodah. Če imate fotografije ali video posnetke, jih bomo zelo veseli.
