Birdwatching became a worldwide activity during the last decades. In Madeira Island, the Ventura do Mar started getting a serious interest on this field since 2003, contributing to the knowledge of marine birds life on this archipelago promoting birdwatching trips, to Desertas Islands and Selvagens Islands, promoting contacts between birdwatchers, participated in meetings, and working together with SPEA-Madeira, Portuguese Society for the Study of the Birds, the portuguese partner of Birdlife International, allowing the presence of one of its members as observer onboard. The Ventura do Mar has friendly and experienced tours leaders and organizers responsible for this activity, being present on all of the birdwatching tours, and always helping birdwatchers on bird identification.
