AZORES, WHALE WATCHING

Post by aukepalmhof » Sat Jun 06, 2020 3:03 am

The Azores issued a set of 5 self-adhesive stamps of which one stamp for the whale watching of the tourists. The stamp shows us a whale watching boat with tourists and a tail fin of a whale. Of the boat, I have not any information.

By the stamp is given the following information.
The archipelago of the Azores is of unmatched beauty and offers unique conditions for the development of sustainable nature tourism, thanks to its wonderful natural heritage that it is possible to enjoy several unique experiences. As this place is one of the most privileged in the world, whale watching is one of the activities of excellence that can be carried out.
More than a third of cetacean species from all over the world pass through the sea of this archipelago, which can vary between resident and migratory species, making it possible to observe these animals throughout the year.
If the sea conditions are adverse, there is a chance to observe these cetaceans through the “vigias da baleia”, ancient observation posts, and support for whale hunting, which are now recovered for observation by tourists and researchers.
