The Goals of the Sarawak Dolphin Project are to:

√ Collect important baseline data on the seasonal distribution, habitat use and conservation needs of dolphins in Sarawak.

√ Apply the study results to develop effective conservation and management plans.

√ Provide training and field experience for local Malaysian scientists (university students and SARAWAK FORESTRY staff) as well as opportunities for volunteers to become involved in dolphin conservation activities.

√ Raise awareness of marine mammals and their conservation needs in the local population by disseminating findings through scientific and popular press, and community workshops.
