Dolphin Research in Sardinia   If
you need any more reason to visit the
town of Golfo Aranci near Olbia, this may be
it! The town is home to the Bottlenose
Dolphin Research Institute (BDRI), "a marine
science center for Research, Education, and
Training in bottlenose dolphin ecology and
behaviour." Further, from their description,
they are "committed to conserving the
diversity and integrity of marine life to
meet the needs of current and future
generations." They provide marine mammal
enthusiasts the chance to participate as
volunteers in hands-on research and, as
well, for serious researchers they offer
intermediate and advanced, "ten-day,
college-level training courses in bottlenose
dolphin research on the northeastern coast
of Sardinia." You have to be 18-years old to
take a class. I am at least 18 and, man, I
want this! (I swiped the photo, upper left,
from their website, but I'm giving them a
plug. In fact, I think they owe me a least
one day with the dolphins!)They have a website here. Further contact: Via A. Diaz 4. Golfo Aranci 07020, Olbia - Tempio, Sardinia, Italy. Telephone numbers: Main Office & Public Information: + 39 346 0815414 (mobile) or + 39 0789 183 1197 (office) |
