dedicated to research and conservation of the Adriatic bottlenose dolphins with
field bases on Croatian islands of Lošinj (Northern Adriatic, Kvarnerić) and
Vis (Central Adriatic, Dalmatia).
ADP Lošinj has a long tradition with eco - volunteering program that offers a unique opportunity to experience encounters with dolphins in their natural surroundings actively participating in the research. This includes boat - based surveying, gaining knowledge in data collection at sea, data entry and participation in preliminary analysis of collected data.

research activities include application of photo - identification techniques,
behavioural observations, diet study and acoustic sampling. The eco -
volunteers are also invited to participate in various lectures on dolphin
research and marine biology offered by the research team.
