The Blue World Institute\u2019s \u201cAdopt a dolphin\u201d is a platform to sustain the Adriatic Dolphin Project, the longest-running conservation research project in our region. Your generous support allows us to maintain our research and conservation activities for bottlenose dolphins \u2013 and other dolphin species \u2013 and to increase public awareness at local and national levels. It also supports the Dolphin Day<\/a>, educational programs, and promoting overall protection of the Adriatic marine environment.

Adriatic Dolphin Project<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

The Adriatic Dolphin Project is the longest ongoing study of a single resident bottlenose dolphin<\/strong> community in the Mediterranean Sea that started in 1987. The aim of this project is to research the population ecology and conservation biology of bottlenose dolphins and other Cetacean species<\/a> in the Adriatic Sea using genetics, population, and habitat modeling and disturbance factors. Since the outset, the project has been an example of best practice in the successful integration of scientific research with practical conservation resulting in the declaration of six Natura 2000<\/a> sites for bottlenose dolphins. The science undertaken by the Adriatic Dolphin Project aims to provide information to the public and relevant authorities and promote the protection of the dolphins and their habitat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bottlenose dolphins are protected under Croatian law and are placed in the National Red List, categorized as \u201cEndangered\u201d, but without evaluated trends. Their research and conservation have been listed as a priority in Croatian and European nature protection. As such, our research can aid in developing appropriate conservation strategies in the Adriatic Sea and help in the implementation of the Natura 2000 priority actions for marine biodiversity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
