MARCET II: Promotion of the ecotourism activity of whale watching as a model of sustainable economic development through the protection and conservation of cetacean populations and their enhancement as a natural heritage of Macaronesia.

Through the already created MARCET Network (MAC/1. 1b/149), its consequent harmonisation of protocols aimed at the conservation of cetacean populations in Macaronesia and the analyses carried out on the current situation of the tourism sector associated with these species, this new initiative (MARCET II Project) was born with the aim of generating management tools at local and regional level for the protection of groups of cetaceans resident in protected marine areas and of special interest for the activity, the conservation of the good environmental status of these areas and the development of ecological and environmental sustainability criteria applicable to the ecotourism activity of whale watching, thus leading to its strengthening and enhancement as a model of sustainable economic development in the region.
