🐋 Marine Wildlife Guide — Blue Safari Madeira 🐋 Marine Wildlife Guide — Blue Safari Madeira Twenty-eight cetacean species have been recorded in these waters. Two of them are here every month of the year. We’re looking for someone to spend their days out there with them. Offering a permanent, year-round position starting the week of 21 September, with accommodation included on the seafront in Funchal. THE JOB You’re at sea most days. You brief the guests, you find the animals, and you tell people what they’re looking at and why it matters. The photographs you take go into photo-ID catalogues that local researchers actually use so the trips you run become data. You’d also be part of our sea turtle conservation work and the Madeira Whale Festival in October. It’s guiding, but it isn’t only guiding. WHAT WE’RE LOOKING FOR👀 → Fluent English → Ideally German and French as well👹 → A basic skipper’s licence (Carta de Navegador de Recreio – Marinheiro) or recognised equivalent → A marine biology or marine science background, or equivalent field experience → Comfortable at sea in swell, all day → The right to live and work in Portugal WHAT WE OFFER. 💰 → Competitive salary → Accommodation on the seafront in Funchal, included → A team car for shopping and errands → Training in species identification, photo-ID and guiding → A small team, where this role has room to become much more than guiding 📩 CV and a few lines about yourself to camila.davila@bluesafarimadeira.com by 17 August. Email only please we won’t be able to reply to DMs. Know the right person? Tag them 🐋 #MarineBiology #MarineConservation #Madeira #WhaleWatching #Cetaceans MarineMammals
Today was a magical day 🐢 We received the call Today was a magical day 🐢 We received the call from @okeam_seaturtle to release 2 loggerhead turtles that were under their care. For us it was a privilege. When we started our partnership we knew this meant not only taking data of this animals but to become actual advocates of their conservation. We were involved in the SummerShield workshop lead by @camiconciencia because we will always give back to the ocean, the amazing environment that has given us (and gives us) so much! Today our crew released turtles but took home this memories forever. Lucky day for everyone 🤞🏻🌈 • • • #loggerheads #seaturtles #oceanlover #wildliferehabilitation #madeira

Talk about magical encounters 🥹 This was TODAY Talk about magical encounters 🥹 This was TODAY on board Blue Safari. Sperm whales are the largest of the toothed whales and the only toothed whale considered a “great whale.” Right here in Madeira, they were hunted for over 40 years. It’s hard to believe we almost pushed them to extinction… and yet, after all this time, they’ve come back. Sort of forgiving us. Giving us another chance 🐋 Here’s the thing: we’ve driven animals to extinction but we’ve also brought them back. We’re all in this together. Conservation is teamwork 🤝 Who else needs this reminder today? 👇 #SpermWhale #Madeira #WhaleWatching #MarineConservation #OceanLife
SPECIAL SIGHTING 💙🐢 Today the ocean gave us SPECIAL SIGHTING 💙🐢 Today the ocean gave us a gift: a LEATHERBACK TURTLE (Dermochelys coriacea) swimming in Madeiran waters! 🌊 Did you know? 🔹 It’s the largest sea turtle on Earth!!! up to 2 metres and 600 kg 🔹 It has no hard shell, just leathery skin over flexible bone 🔹 It can dive over 1,000 m deep 🤯deeper than most whales! 🔹 Its favourite food? Jellyfish 🪼 which is why plastic bags are one of its biggest threats Leatherbacks travel thousands of kilometres across the Atlantic, and every sighting here is a reminder of how connected our ocean is and how much these ancient travellers need our protection. 🌍 👉 Want to help? Start by learning! Knowing these animals is the first step to protecting them 📣 And speaking of learning: Blue Safari Madeira will be at the SUMMER SHIELD workshop on June 15th at Tecnopolo, organised by @mare_madeira youth Embassadors, dedicated to sea turtle conservation and good practices at sea. Come join us! 💪🌊 • • • #Leatherback #Madeira #SeaTurtles #OceanConservation ResponsibleWhaleWatching #ProtectWhatYouLove
