Qué cubre este vídeo
Mysticeta Research is a Brazilian science communication and audiovisual production company founded in 2019 by André, a biologist, and Pedro, a journalist and filmmaker, who are brothers.2:30 The company's name combines "misticetus" (the Latin root for baleen whales) with "research," reflecting its dual mission: conducting field expeditions to collect scientific data and producing documentary films that translate that science for general audiences.8:50 André's biology background and Pedro's cinematographic eye form the core differentiator — science that would otherwise circulate only within academic circles reaches broader publics through cinematic storytelling.11:53 The company has produced two main documentaries: "Oceano," a 30-minute lifestyle-leaning film whose microplastic data, collected with a self-built neuston net, was donated to UFSC; and "Ínsula," set in Fernando de Noronha, which used the island as a case study in insular conservation and included school visits and bringing local children aboard a sailboat — many of whom had never seen a dolphin despite living on the island.19:06 A third documentary, produced for the PELD long-duration estuarine research program in Laguna, focuses on the franciscana dolphin (toninha), a fragile but resilient species.35:18 Both expeditions were crowdfunded.29:37 The conversation also addresses the structural difficulty Brazilian field scientists face in monetizing conservation work.38:58
