In the wake of these successful encounters, deeper issues arise around the protection of these magnificent creatures. The Mediterranean faces serious ecological threats, primarily due to overfishing and human activities.

The quest for educational outreach and preservation intensifies as the impacts of pollution, shipping, and fishing practices are all realized firsthand.
