Humpback whales in Cape Verde
Knowledge of the humpback whales in Cape Verde is steadily increasing thanks to the work of the Irish Whale & Dolphin Group in conjunction with local naturalist, Pedro Lopez.
The purpose of the work is to get a clearer idea of the genetic make-up of this population to understand how isolated it is. Links have already been made between Cape Verde & Norway and in 2011 there were several whales returning to Cape Verde that have been recorded since the 1990s.
IWDG believe Boa Vista to be the single most important bay in the Atlantic for this population.
