Now we are fully launched into the \u201cBlogosphere\u201d we can get underway with updates from both base and field.<\/p>\n

Having newly arrived at the base in Andavadoaka our new volunteers were invited to the wedding of Mr Sidoine (an octopus sous collector). 14 Blue Ventures staff and volunteers joined the party for lunch in the Grand Salle of the village Catholic Mission. Over 100 people joined in the festivities and were treated to a sit down lunch with drinks and a many-tiered wedding cake was brought out. Following that there were speeches music and dancing.<\/p>\n

On Thursday 22nd September Andavadoaka has celebrated a new arrival \u2013 Tson Tso (trigger fish) our new boat. It was christened by a Malagasy fomba, a traditional ceremony, both Tulear before its maiden voyage and also in Andava before its first ever dive trip.<\/p>\n

On a more general note. Malagasy and German scientists<\/a> have found 2 new species of lemur in Madagascar: the giant mouse lemur and Goodman\u2019s mouse lemur. Lemurs are exclusive to Madagascar and sadly are the most endangered of all primates, with a third of all species already extinct. These discoveries highlight that there is still so much of Malagasy biodiversity that needs to be explored and understood.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
