Since 2003, Morigenos has been organising yearly Dolphin Research Courses, where anyone can become a member of the research team and help study dolphins in their natural environment.
The waters off the coast of Slovenia and the entire Gulf of Trieste are home to a resident population of common bottlenose dolphins (Tursiops truncatus).
The research carried out by Morigenos over the past 15 years has shown that about 150 dolphins live here year-round. Moreover, they display remarkable social behaviour that was previously unknown in this species.
If you like being outdoors and near the water, if you want to be part of a positive change, if you appreciate nature and wildlife, and if want to take active part in studying and protecting it, then this course just might be something for you!
