This model allowed us to disentangle the mechanisms and conditions that promoted cooperation (vision, reputation, mobility and stranding spatial distribution). Spatial concentration of beached whales pushes up cooperation from the original levels reached by the effect of the indirect reciprocity mechanism. The cooperative behaviour favours the emergence and preservation of informal and dynamic communities that work as a vigilance network making defection very costly.When agents follow Lévy flight movement, assuming that a correlation exists between this movement type and the large average step length, the distance or effective vision at which an agent can interact with other agents and the environment grows, which means a greater ability to detect beached whales and more callings by cooperators and defectorsLévy flight, with a large average step length, promotes cooperation when beachings are scarce. In this scenario, the higher effective vision extends the vigilance network discouraging defectors, who have few opportunities to prosper apart from the group of cooperators.If the assumed correlation between Lévy flight and the large average step length is absent, the movement pattern itself will not have as much influence in promoting cooperation
