From the 30th October to the 1st November 2010, Catarina & Hugo, owners of Madeira Wind Birds, were some of the speakers of the VII Congresso Ibérico de Aves Marinhas (VII Iberian Congress of Seabirds) which took place in Santurtzi, Bilbao - Spain. The congress was organized by GIAM - Grupo Ibérico de Aves Marinhas (Iberian Group of Seabirds) who invited Catarina and Hugo for 2 different presentations: "Zino's Petrels history and conservation" and "Madeira Wind Bird's Pelagic Expeditions".
