We are delighted to announce that we will be part of a book that will be presented by, “The Dolphin’s Voice”, a NGO based in Germany ( https://tdv.ngo/ ). The Dolphin’s voice have the goal to provide education and awareness to the public about cetaceans and the dangers they are facing in today’s oceans. The book will be presented at the festival, “Veggie Vitalis”, a festival showcasing vegan food but also environmental NGOs. A translation of the text can be found below:
Beside our scientific research we also concentrate on conservation, especially ecological initiatives and public awareness about the marine mammals and their habitat. Our scientific work is carried out by volunteers, interns and students from all over the world.
Montenegro Dolphin Research (MDR) is a long-term project of DMAD (Marine Mammal Research Association), focused on the research of dolphins in Montenegrin waters.
The goal is the collection of frequency, abundance and behaviour of the marine mammals. Resulting data will hopefully help to define critical habitats and to understand the repercussions of the biggest threats.
Beside our scientific research we also concentrate on conservation, especially ecological initiatives and public awareness about the marine mammals and their habitat. Our scientific work is carried out by volunteers, interns and students from all over the world.
Equipped with our boats, instruments and special softwares we assess the area through data
collection on land and boat (meaning on land and boat surveys). We analyse, identify and archive the collected data statistically and use it for further scientific research and conservation strategies.
The map on the left shows that the main residency areas of the dolphins are also the ones with the highest density of marine traffic.
DMAD – Marine Mammals Research Association
is a non-profit and non-governmental organisation with the goal to create ecological awareness forthe sea and its inhabitants through their activity in research and science.
It is our goal to raise awareness in both, the public and scientific field, to identify the habitat problems correlating with the preservation of marine biodiversity in the Levantine and Adriatic Sea.
We support the preservation of marine mammals and their habitats through the integration of academic studies, public engagements and campaigns for social sensitisation.
