Sussex Dolphin Project is committed to protecting local dolphin species through research, awareness and education in the local community. The project’s research is evidence-based and captured via the Sussex Dolphin Project Citizen science programme. We aspire to work collaboratively with organisations and individuals to create a sightings network and aim to increase opportunities for residents to get involved with marine conservation by providing affordable training. Our research objective is to identify individual dolphins/pods, in order to better understand their behaviour, movement, prey species and breeding sites. This data can then be used to protect our marine environment and ultimately safeguard Sussex marine mammals.
