    Volunteering for Vivamar represents a fantastic opportunity for you to:

    • gain first hand insight into a day in the life of a bottlenose dolphin  and all the threats that they face;
    • learn about Biology, Ecology and Conservation of Marine Mammals. You can also gain deeper insight into their physiology, ethology… and you will have a scientific supervision while working with data.
    • meet and work with a competent and engaging team of like-minded people. You’ll most likely also learn about other cultures and languages!
    • raise awareness about the importance of the dolphins’ role in the Northern Adriatic Sea;
    • enjoy the Mediterranean sun and crystal blue water;
    • snorkel from the research boat directly into the blue, off the dreamy islands in the research area;

    How you’ll help

    With professional support, you will help fill in our dolphin data into the database from the previous observations. You will learn how to use photo identification methods to distinguish one dolphin from the another. 
    We also love when volunteers are proficient with social media, so that they can take advantage of social media platforms and advocate our dolphin activities. Otherwise Vivamar team will teach you - so it'll be very handy for your everyday life, given that we all are surrounded by the social media... 
    In some teams you will be helping to prepare and, depending on the dates, attend local awareness events which Vivamar organizes. These events are great opportunities to engage with the local public and raise awareness about bottlenose dolphins in the area and explain their importance for the entire marine ecosystem...
    As a dolphin volunteer, you will experience what every one of our team members has–  inner growth. After spending time with the dolphins and Vivamar, you will be more enthusiastic and passionate  – either about your everyday life, your studies, or any other project concerns you.
    Throw yourself in the deep end, push yourself, grow, learn, and gain confidence – all through your time helping us.

    You will stand out. Talk about your dolphin volunteering experience on Facebook, post out-of-this-world sunsets & dolphin photos from the stunning Adriatic on Instagram and your friends will be inspired!
