*Gain experience by joining Adriatic Dolphin Project at the island Lošinj, Croatia*
The Blue World Institute of Marine Research and Conservation is a non profit organization that carries out several projects aimed at recording data about the life of endangered marine organisms. The Adriatic Dolphin Project conducts research of population ecology, genetics, acoustics and habitats of bottlenose dolphins and other Cetacean species of the Adriatic. It is the longest ongoing study of one resident bottlenose dolphin community in the Mediterranean Sea. *The internship* offers the opportunity for motivated students in biology or related sciences to experience work on collection and elaboration of scientific data. The students will actively participate in collection of behavioral, surfacing and navigational data, learn to use photo identification methods and analyse collected data, all that under mentorship of experienced marine biologists. *Eco-volunteering program* is for highly motivated individuals who come to join our research and provide great help throughout the season. During the course period eco-volunteers are educated in cetacean biology, marine conservation and scientific research techniques by the resident researchers. In addition eco-volunteers live with the researchers; they help in everyday tasks such as the preparation of meals and field base maintenance. The motivation of the people involved in the program is of great importance for the project as a whole. The funding received from volunteers is important to the survival of the project and the continued research in this region.
