We are delighted to welcome the new cohort of students from The School for Field Studies to the island of Lošinj!

In collaboration with the School for Field Studies (SFS), a Massachusetts-based American organisation, the Blue World Institute runs an undergraduate study abroad programme called ‘The Centre for the Conservation of Marine Megafauna’. This multifaceted programme emphasises fieldwork, providing hands-on experience in the biology, ecology and conservation methods of cetaceans and sea turtles. Students also study topics such as veterinary diagnostics, nature-based solutions to biodiversity loss, the impacts of climate change, and strategies for managing protected areas and threatened ecosystems.
This is already the fourth group spending their semester at the Marine Megafauna Conservation Center, learning and conducting research alongside the experts of the Blue World Institute. All previous cohorts have been highly successful, with students gaining valuable knowledge, hands-on experience, and a deeper understanding of marine conservation.
During the three-month program, this group will further develop their knowledge of dolphin and sea turtle biology, ecology, and conservation through lectures, fieldwork, and collaboration with the local community.
We look forward to the learning experiences ahead and are confident that this generation, like the ones before them, will have a successful and rewarding semester.
Dear students, we warmly welcome you and wish you a successful and inspiring stay on Lošinj!
