That doesn&#8217;t mean, of course, that there are no whales in the area at this time of year, just that I unfortunately wasn&#8217;t able to see any.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"390\" data-end=\"938\">Tarifa is located on the Strait of Gibraltar. The Strait of Gibraltar connects the Mediterranean Sea with the Atlantic Ocean. I&#8217;ve already written more about this special <a href=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/en\/whales-and-dolphins-in-the-mediterranean-sea-sanremo-italy\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">waterway<\/a> in a previous blog post. It&#8217;s about 60 kilometers long and at its narrowest point, it&#8217;s only 14 kilometers wide \u2013 and this narrowest point is right off the coast of Tarifa. Tarifa is also the southernmost town on the European mainland. From here, it&#8217;s only about 14 kilometers to Mount Jbel Musa in Morocco on the African continent. So, Africa is almost within reach.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31544-5\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31544-5-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31544-5-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"5\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-31635\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Strait of Gibraltar\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-2-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31544-6\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31544-6-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31544-6-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"6\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<p>Because the Strait of Gibraltar is the only natural connection between the Mediterranean and the Atlantic, there is heavy shipping traffic here.

Why don&#8217;t they choose a quieter place?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"136\" data-end=\"566\">The answer lies in the water itself. The water level of the Atlantic is higher than that of the Mediterranean, which causes water to constantly flow into the Mediterranean. At the same time, more water evaporates there than is replenished by rivers and rainfall. As a result, the Mediterranean water becomes saltier, heavier, and sinks to the depths. This so-called deep water then flows along the seabed back toward the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"568\" data-end=\"946\">In the Strait of Gibraltar, this deep water meets an uneven seabed with rises and dips.

But what exactly was observed?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"291\" data-end=\"627\">The unusual sightings included, among other things, emaciation, deformities, and various injuries. The latter were by far the most common. While natural injuries were also observed, the majority of documented injuries were caused by humans. These can mostly be attributed to the intense shipping traffic, but also to fishing activities.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"629\" data-end=\"815\">Unfortunately, this was not just a statistic for me.

Quite a lot, actually. In the Strait of Gibraltar, orcas steal tuna directly from the hooks of Spanish and Moroccan longline fishermen. Because of this behavior, orcas are primarily observed off the coast of Tarifa in the midsummer months, as the tuna swim back into the Atlantic after spawning in the Mediterranean.<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"393\" data-end=\"595\">What I find especially fascinating is that the orcas specifically leave the head of the tuna behind \u2013 right where the hook is. The question is: Can orcas detect the hook using their echolocation system?<\/p>\n<p data-start=\"597\" data-end=\"926\">Unfortunately, I can\u2019t answer that. However, it is known that orcas, like the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firmm.org\/en\/adoption\/orcas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">Matriach<\/a>, don&#8217;t appear every year. Could this be related to food competition? Fishermen, at least, aren\u2019t fond of orcas when they steal the tuna off their lines. According to reports, some fishermen even use electric shocks to drive the orcas away.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31544-26\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31544-26-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31544-26-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"27\" data-style=\"{&quot;padding&quot;:&quot;5px 5px 5px 5px&quot;,&quot;background&quot;:&quot;#1e94a0&quot;,&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_color&quot;:&quot;#1e94a0&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;margin&quot;:&quot;0px 0px 0px 0px&quot;,&quot;font_color&quot;:&quot;#ffffff&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"panel-widget-style panel-widget-style-for-31544-26-0-0\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<p class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\"><span style=\"font-size: 16pt;\"><strong>Information:<\/strong><\/span> If you want to learn more about when orcas are most likely to be spotted off the coast of Tarifa, it&#8217;s best to check out the firmm website.

We were told that the orcas observed by firmm are fish-eaters and, therefore, do not &#8216;attack&#8217; boats (the photo shows a pilot whale, not an orca).<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31544-28\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31544-28-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31544-28-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"29\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-31642\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dolphins off the coast of Tarifa\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9-272x182.jpg 272w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-9.jpg 1837w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31544-29\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31544-29-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31544-29-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"30\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<p data-start=\"25\" data-end=\"186\">Since I unfortunately couldn&#8217;t see an orca, I\u2019m writing here about the other dolphins I was actually able to observe.

(<em>Globicephala melas<\/em>). In addition to the long-finned pilot whale there is the short-finned pilot whale (<em>Globicephala macrorhynchus<\/em>). While long-finned pilot whales occur in temperate and cold waters of the Southern Hemisphere, as well as in the North Atlantic and the Mediterranean, short-finned pilot whales prefer tropical and subtropical seas. Since long-finned pilot whales favor cooler waters and short-finned pilot whales prefer warmer waters, their ranges overlap very little. In the Mediterranean, however, only the long-finned pilot whale is found.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31544-42\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31544-42-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31544-42-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-image panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"46\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignnone size-large wp-image-31648\" src=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"Dolphins off the coast of Tarifa\" width=\"840\" height=\"560\" srcset=\"https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-2048x1365.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-840x560.jpg 840w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-120x80.jpg 120w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-360x240.jpg 360w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-600x400.jpg 600w, https:\/\/wildlife-travel.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/03\/Delfine-vor-Tarifa-15-272x182.jpg 272w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 840px) 100vw, 840px\" \/><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div id=\"pg-31544-43\" class=\"panel-grid panel-no-style\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;,&quot;full_height&quot;:&quot;&quot;,&quot;bottom_margin&quot;:&quot;0px&quot;,&quot;cell_alignment&quot;:&quot;flex-start&quot;}\">\n<div id=\"pgc-31544-43-0\" class=\"panel-grid-cell\" data-weight=\"1\">\n<div id=\"panel-31544-43-0-0\" class=\"so-panel widget widget_sow-editor panel-first-child panel-last-child\" data-index=\"47\" data-style=\"{&quot;background_image_attachment&quot;:false,&quot;background_display&quot;:&quot;tile&quot;,&quot;background_image_size&quot;:&quot;full&quot;,&quot;background_image_opacity&quot;:&quot;100&quot;,&quot;border_thickness&quot;:&quot;1px&quot;}\">\n<div class=\"so-widget-sow-editor so-widget-sow-editor-base\">\n<div class=\"siteorigin-widget-tinymce textwidget\">\n<p data-start=\"25\" data-end=\"279\">There are only two species of pilot whales \u2013 also called <em>Globicephala<\/em> \u2013 namely the ones mentioned earlier.

During the summer months, when orcas pass through the Strait of Gibraltar, pilot whales move into the Mediterranean \u2013 presumably to protect their calves. Accordingly, firmm observes pilot whales less frequently during this time. On one firmm trip, it was even observed how a group of pilot whales drove <a href=\"https:\/\/www.firmm.org\/en\/news\/article\/items\/pilot-whales-chased-away-the-orcas\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener nofollow\">orcas<\/a>\u00a0out of their hunting area.

What impact does this have on their distribution and behavior? What additional conservation measures will be agreed upon and actually implemented? And how does the ongoing warming of the Mediterranean affect these animals?
