Hva denne videoen dekker

A delivery skipper in Vilamoura on the Algarve plots a route through "Orca Alley" — the stretch from Cádiz past Barbate and the Straits of Gibraltar — after waiting out a strong Levanter wind.0:30 Studying recent orca attack data, he notes a shift in 2024: incidents have moved from the Spanish coastal shallows to the middle of the Straits or the Moroccan side, with one near Ceuta.0:54 In previous years, including a personal attack near Barbate, the Spanish coast was the danger zone, so he ran the Moroccan side.0:54 This year he reverses that logic: he plans to make directly for Cádiz, then hug the Spanish coast in water shallower than 20 meters, staying inside Cape Trafalgar during daylight hours.1:22 Flat-calm conditions are forecast, which supports the inshore plan.1:44 The core tactic is using real-time orca incident tracking to pick the side of the Straits with the fewest recent contacts, then staying in shallow water where orca interactions are less common.
