Unveiling the Secrets of the Mediterranean monk seal
Spot the Monk was possible thanks to the collaboration and enthusiasm of associations and people who supported us in different forms.
Conceptual partner
Gruppo Foca Monaca (Emanuele Coppola) has enthusiastically supported the original idea of identifying a molecular method for monitoring the monk seal from the very beginning, and ever since is actively acting aside Spot the Monk.Associations involved in sample collection
