He began collaborating with the DWA (Dolphin Watch Alliance), for the scientific study of a pod of dolphins in the Hurghada zone, and  also with the ONG HEPCA for the protection of the Red Sea.

 


 

Die Botschaft der delfine

Peoples love dolphins and they sometimes seem to seek contact with us. What is behind this? What do you want to tell us? How can we interpret their behavior and understand them better? Eric Demay devoted his life to serving dolphins. When he finds himself face to face for the first time with a captive dolphin in a dolphinarium, it's over for him: he does everything he can to study these animals, whose communicative behavior does not correspond at all to the image of a sea creature

From the blue expanse of the Mediterranean to the turquoise waves of the Bahamas to the cold waters of New Zealand - Éric Demay lets us immerse ourselves in the wonderfully diverse world of dolphins and large whales.
