    The volunteers of the “Oasis Tramuntana expeditions” will have the opportunity to be part of the Alnitak scientific team, collaborating with the artisanal fishermen.

    Sobre o programa

    Our Oasis Programme:

    In 2002 we began implementing NOAA and Stanford University - Tag a Giants vision of ''Animal Oceanographers'' which consists in using highly mobile marine animals as ''oceanographers of opportunity'' integrating their telemetry data in the Integrated Ocean Observation and Forecasting System (IOOS). The results of the modelling of this data can be used to design MPAs (Marine protected areas) and develop management schemes in diverse sectors (energy, fishing, transport, tourism, etc)... to mitigate risks. 

    Volunteers that join us will be working along side some of the worlds top marine biologists and will be actively involved in helping us collect data from these animals as well as helping us monitor the open Ocean for disregarded fishing gear and sick and/or injured Marine life, apart from helping us in active research Volunteers will also be expected to be hands on with other chores such as cooking, cleaning and helping maintain the upkeep of our ''base keep''. Alnitak's volunteer programmes “opens the doors” to the Sea for individuals of all ages and backgrounds. More than 4,000 people from 102 nations have embarked with us in these three decades, directly participating in research and conservation projects.

    Our ''base camp'' since 2024 will be a little Cortijo (Spanish Cottage) Ca'n Canyelles nested in the stunning UNESCO heritage site of the Tramuntana mountain rage it has the capacity to house a max of 6 volunteers + staff.

    Every morning (weather permitting) we will leave from the port of Soller to conduct our research, the town of Seller is one of the most beautiful in Mallorca, it is a paradise for hikers and cyclists, gourmet lovers and a fantastic hideaway option! 

    If the weather is not in our favour our work will be conducted on land.

    During rough seas/windy days we will dedicate time to a variety of chores such as renovating our new home, data entry, and more. We will do our best to live sustainably, acquiring our groceries from the local farmers markets, and breaking up daily chores between the whole team.

    This is a new and exciting type of Alnitak expedition, in which volunteers actively participate in its development and hopefully success in years to come

    Calm sea days

    The perfect days to work at sea. During these days we will try to be in deep water from dawn to dusk (in port by 06:00) on our Rib T/T  Tofte or our Modified artesanal fishing vessel '' El Pasador''. These are productive but also arduous days, in which rest, sun protection and hydration are fundamental aspects.

    It is on these days that we hope to accomplish our main objectives and have the most productive encounters with cetaceans, turtles, pelagic fish and seabirds.

    Days of slight - breeze (swell)

    Combine sampling of microplastics and marine debris with experimentation of the prototype aFADs, analyzing the “oasis effect”.
    There will be fewer hours spent at sea.

    Land activities in Ca'n Canyelles:
    a) maintenance work on the farmhouse
    b) construction of furniture and preparation of research equipment
    c) processing of sampling data and images in sea
    d) pruning and burning of the olive grove, harvesting, and manufacturing. e) reparation of dry stone walls
    f) maintenance of the boats

    Windy and or stormy days

    These are when we will NOT be able to go out to sea and we can also focus on the land-based activities or assign one of these days as off time.

    We always try to find a compromise between typical Mediterranean times and Western times, with breakfast

    around 07:00 (days at sea) and 09:00 (days without navigation), a lunch/snack at 11:00, lunch at 13:00 and dinner at 20:00

    Actividades em tempo livre

    Even though you will have exciting experiences and, at the same time, help us achieve our goals as an organisation, free time is also essential to perfect your experience in Mallorca. The “Serra de Tramuntana” and its towns are well worth spending a minimum of time enjoying the landscape and exploring its natural and cultural treasures.

    We will assign one of these days as off time. As stated previously, if we have stormy days/windy days and depending on the duration of the adverse weather conditions, we will focus on the land activities in Ca’n Canyelles but can also assign some time off.

    Alnitak’s team may use this “OFF time” for office work. We are a very small team; therefore, please respect that during this assigned time, the team may need to continue their land-based work.

    We will allocate time for a wrap-up session to discuss the results obtained during our last expedition day.
