Rui Alves launched a website last year, orcas.pt, that tracks orca encounters with boats – both sightings and attacks off the coast of Portugal and near the Strait of Gibraltar, located between Spain and Morocco.
. For example, on June 3, there were four identified orca attacks and on June 8, there were two.
Alves' site, according to the PBS interview, connects sailors in the area who can report these incidents, and their locations, along the coasts of Spain and Portugal. "It was an idea. If you spread the word about something that happens in an area, people will avoid that area," Alves told PBS. "Maybe they will keep the boat and say, 'I don't sail today because there are many orcas at that point. I will sail tomorrow, or maybe I will go in another direction.'"
