Meet 𝙊𝙍𝙐𝘿𝘼🐬, a new male #bottlenosedolphin in our #𝘼𝙙𝙤𝙥𝙩𝙖𝙙𝙤𝙡𝙥𝙝𝙞𝙣 programme! He has a friendly, curious character and is well-known in the Cres-Lošinj #dolphin community. We also updated adoption packages! 👉 adopt-a-dolphin.org #BWIScience

After a week-long semester break, the Monday for our #SFSCroatia students was 𝙘𝙤𝙣𝙨𝙚𝙧𝙫𝙖𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 𝙞𝙣 𝙖𝙘𝙩𝙞𝙤𝙣 day! They took a boat trip with our lecturers to the Cres-Lošinj #Natura2000site to look at the human uses of the area. #BlueWorldInstitute #BWIScience

Get ready in time for ✨ #holidayseason - symbolically adopt-a-dolphin.org and support our efforts! 🐬 This is Meta, a #resident #male #bottlenosedolphin of the Cres-Lošinj archipelago. He is recognizable by his easily identifiable dorsal fin and unique mouth shape!

#bottlenosedolphins in the wild sometimes show #aggressivebehaviour towards one another. Why? To establish hierarchy within or between groups, and sometimes over territory, or to fight over females, or it´s a form of play and social bonding, especially among younger individuals.

🫂 Ever wondered how learning and living in our community looks like? Get a glimpse of our magical island and the adventure that the present and future #SFSCroatia students will experience. More videos to come! vimeo.com/1019598572 #BlueWorldInstitute #BWIScience #VeliLosinj

☀️ We were on a study trip to the island of #Zlarin where we participated in #workshops and took a boat trip! Many thanks to the NGO #Tatavaka and #CroatianCoralCentre on Zlarin. 'Možemo i bez plastike' project is funded by MRDEF through a tender for island NGOs projects. #MRRFEU

#tbt to 24 years ago, when our #documentaryfilm about the #AdriaticSea saw the light of day! If you have around 50 minutes to spare, watch it and learn more about our beautiful Adriatic and the #organisms that inhabit it! #BlueWorldInstitute #BWIScience youtube.com/watch?v=k8vT09…

🦠 Did you know that #dolphins can have #coronavirus? Our colleagues are coauthors of the report on the first molecular detection of a gammacoronavirus in a #stripeddolphin (𝘚𝘵𝘦𝘯𝘦𝘭𝘭𝘢 𝘤𝘰𝘦𝘳𝘶𝘭𝘦𝘰𝘢𝘭𝘣𝘢) from the #AdriaticSea lnkd.in/dJf-hmFA 📷:file photo

🌍 The #AdriaticSea is a #hotspot for #biodiversity! In our research we collect data on #species abundance, #habitat use, social structure, #behaviour, disturbance, etc. These data are vital in understanding and developing effective #conservation and #management measures.

Last field trip of this year could not end with more energy and positive spirit! We are conveying #LošinjDolphins and ours seasons greetings! #AdriaticDolphinProject #MerryChristmas #dolphins
