Attendees develop practices as monitors outputs of whale watching in regular outings with tourists. The addition of all the theoretical and practical part, the program would include accommodation in the center of studies and diet.

The outputs would, according to campaign design, in the Strait of Gibraltar or Algeciras Bay. Even if the weather conditions are bad in the Strait, campaigns develop in the Bay of Algeciras. The fishing trips may vary from the schedule due to the weather.
