About SOMAR
It is a non-profit association founded in 2020 with the aim of conserving the dolphins and whales of the Algarve, as well as the oceans, through a number of axes of action.
Key Pillars
Marine Research
Increased interest in and promotion of research on sound in the marine environment is of utmost importance for the sustainable management of ocean and, especially, coastal regions.
Ocean Literacy
Ocean Literacy can also be understood as ocean culture, that is, the understanding of the full influence of the ocean on our lives as individuals, society, and ecosystem.
Community Building
Community building promotes specific and continuous actions throughout the year linked to the ocean’s sustainability aiming to connect the local community.
The ocean is vital to humanity as a regulator of the climate, a source of food and the oxygen we breathe (among many other facets).
Photo Gallery
The Portuguese coast has a rich marine biodiversity, making it possible for cetaceans (whales and dolphins) to occur off the southern coast of mainland Portugal all year round.
CICAS - SOMAR Interpretation Center for Cetaceans and Acoustics
