Menkab, sea protection has a good star
Menkab is an association founded in 2010, dedicated to scientific research and environmental protection, especially of cetaceans in the Mediterranean Sea. It is named after the brightest star in the constellation of the Whale, symbolizing its mission to protect the sea. A collaboration between the University of Genoa and the Monte Carlo Oceanographic Museum, it is led by Maurizio Wurtz, a renowned biologist. Menkab has launched significant projects such as Ishmael, to study endangered sperm whale ecosystems; Giohna, to map bottlenose dolphin habitats; and Whalesafe, to prevent collisions between ships and sperm whales. The association also promotes environmental education and awareness by organizing marine biology courses, photography workshops, and marine "safaris," encouraging a love and care for the sea.
