Bomb in Piran Bay

In the last few weeks the media reported extensively on the destruction of the airplane bomb, left from the 2nd World War, lying on the bottom of Piran Bay. The safety of people comes first, so we perfectly understand the need to destroy and remove such a bomb. However, we are naturally worried about the safety of our dolphins. Strong underwater noise can lead to hearing damage, while the explosion itself could represent a direct threat to dolphin lives. That is why Morigenos got in touch with the Administration for Civil Protection and Disaster Relief. They took our concerns very seriously and enabled us to take part in the matter. During the operation, Morigenos will be carrying out the monitoring of the area and make sure the explosion does not take place while dolphins are around. Furthermore, due to the presence of sea turtles in the area, we recommended the operation to take place in winter, when sea turtles are absent from the area. Experts for fish recommended the same with regards to several other marine species.

Bomba v Piranskem zalivu

V zadnjih tednih se je v medijih veliko govorilo o razstrelitvi letalske bombe iz druge svetovne vojne na dnu Piranskega zaliva. Varnost ljudi je seveda na prvem mestu, zato razumemo potrebo po odstranitvi oz. uničenju omenjene bombe. Kljub temu pa nas seveda skrbi za varnost naših delfinov. Močan podvodni hrup lahko vodi v poškodbe sluha, sama eksplozija pa lahko tudi neposredno ogrozi življenje delfinov. Društvo Morigenos se je zato povezalo z Upravo za zaščito in reševanje, kjer so našo skrb vzeli zelo resno in nam omogočili sodelovanje pri načrtovanju celotne zadeve. Društvo Morigenos bo tako v času operacije izvajalo monitoring območja in skrbelo za to, da do eksplozije ne bo prišlo ob prisotnosti delfinov. Prav tako smo z vidika prisotnosti morskih želv predlagali, da se uničenje bombe izvede pozimi, ko morskih želv pri nas ni. Z vidika mnogih drugih vrst so isto predlagali tudi strokovnjaki za ribe.

Dolphin Photo Exhibition in the Aquarium Piran

In the fascinating ambient of Aquarium Piran the Morigenos team has set up a photo exhibition of dolphins in the northern Adriatic Sea, namely in Slovenian and adjacent waters. 

The exhibition, which can be seen daily from 9 a.m. to 10 p.m. until 30th of September 2014, aims at raising awareness about dolphins in the northern Adriatic Sea, which Morigenos has been studying since 2002 and are permanently present in these waters. 

You are kindly invited to the opening of our photo exhibition on the 23rd of July at 7. p.m. in the Aquarium Piran; the music program will be provided by choir GEORGIOS.

Razstava o delfinih v Akvariju Piran

Društvo Morigenos je v zanimivem ambientu piranskega Akvarija postavilo razstavo fotografij delfinov iz severnega Jadranskega morja, natančneje iz slovenskih in okoliških voda.

Razstava, ki si jo lahko ogledate vsak dan med 9. in 22. Uro do 30.9.2014, je namenjena osveščanju o delfinih v severnem Jadranu, ki jih društvo Morigenos raziskuje že od leta 2002 in so v teh vodah stalno prisotni.

Vljudno vas vabimo na odprtje razstave, ki bo v sredo, 23. julija, ob 19. uri v Akvariju Piran; z nami bo tudi pevski zbor GEORGIOS.
