The Blue World Institute has its basis rooted in the ongoing Adriatic Dolphin Project, a long-running common bottlenose dolphin research and monitoring project. Since its formal foundation in 1999, the BWI has led or partnered with other institutions and NGOs on the development and implementation of conservation policies for the protection of the Adriatic Sea. Over the years, our conservation interest has expanded to include all large marine vertebrates, including sea turtles, sharks and rays, and conservation-planning including protected areas and maritime spatial planning. In this section, we will highlight some of the work the Blue World Institute is undertaking as part of its research and conservation projects.
