MDR - Montenegro Dolphin Research

Montenegro Dolphin Research (MDR) is a research NGO, sister-to DMAD - Marine Mammals Research Association. Our study is the first long-term study of marine mammals in Montenegrin coastal waters. We aim to address questions about marine mammal abundance, distribution and behaviour, define critical habitats and investigate the impacts of major threats, ranging from tourism to seismic practices. Our wider attention focuses on the promotion and implementation of awareness initiatives targeted at the local community.

This is a valuable opportunity for graduates, that wish to gain experience in the marine mammal research field, and undergraduates, that would like to obtain internship academic credits. It could be used to develop a scientific project for a BSc or MSc thesis. We are also open to accept applications from anyone whose passion for marine mammals and willingness to learn are strong and sincere.
