“…Furthermore, more than half of them asserted that the current measures to protect whales and dolphins are not sufficient. Similarly, previous studies into young and adult citizens' perceptions of marine mammals found high support for cetacean conservation among the general public (Scott & Parsons, 2005;Howard & Parsons, 2006;Luksenburg & Parsons, 2014;Naylor & Parsons, 2018;Giovos et al, 2019;García-Gallego et al, 2021). Our findings indicate that knowledge about cetaceans and their conservation issues is not an essential prerequisite for positive attitudes towards their protection, as was suggested by Naylor & Parsons (2018).…”

1. The number of young conservationist movements is increasing worldwide, as new generations become more aware of the environmental problems that are having an impact on the planet. Consequently, young people appear to play a fundamental role in developing successful conservation strategies.2. This research examines young citizens' knowledge, attitudes and engagement in cetacean conservation in coastal and non-coastal regions of Spain, and assesses the influence of whaling tradition.3. A total of 902 anonymous surveys were conducted with students between 14 and 16 years old at 10 high schools located in nine different study areas, six

A special word to José Espinosa who tracked down and carefully transcribed a great source in Seville. A word, too, to several research assistants who have worked with our team, over time, helping to select, transcribe, and translate sources.A final word to the closest of the closest, my loving family, who endure long absences and profound silences with a smile, who listen repeatedly to my ramblings about whales and dolphins, manatees and mermaids, sharks and sea monsters, and who help me believe in all the possibilities of this fluid world we live in.

“…Cetaceans have been protected in Cape Verde since 1987, by national legislation, although dolphins could be regularly found on the markets and stranded animals found on the shore would be butchered by the population, until very recently (Hazevoet and Wenzel 2000;Cosentino and Fisher 2016). A change in practices and attitudes towards these marine animals is gradually happening worldwide, mostly as a consequence of conservation and awareness efforts (Naylor and Parsons 2018;Giovos et al 2019), for which the dissemination of cultural heritage related to the ocean and the whales is also crucial. In Cape Verde, all the environmental, cultural and chronological contexts did, and still do, influence the way people perceive the littoral and seascapes, and today whales are also becoming a symbol of current-day conservation concerns.…”

Cultural constructions of landscapes, space and environments, and of people’s relationship with nature, have in the Cape Verde Islands a perspective of their own and might have been mediated by the whale. To address perceptions about these marine mammals, historical sources, literature, art, memory and heritage were considered. Whaling influenced history and diaspora and is reflected in literary productions. Remains of whales are found in museums and used as decorative pieces and local art. We found the Cape Verdean seascapes as being culturally and naturally constructed and the whale occupies a true ‘place’ of convergence.
