It is the first systematic and long-term study of any cetaceans (whales, dolphins and porpoises) in Slovenia.\r\nThe project was started in 2002, when hardly anything was known about dolphins in Slovenia. In fact, dolphins were not even considered as a regular component of Slovenian fauna. They were thought to be only occasional visitors to our waters. However, through systematic boat surveys, land-based watches and photo-identification, Morigenos team discovered and documented a small, but resident population of bottlenose dolphins in the area. We have been studying and following these dolphins ever since. Research activities focus on dolphin distribution, abundance, social structure, habitat use, feeding habits, fishery interactions and tourism impact through dedicated boat surveys, land-based watches and theodolite tracking, photo-identification, behavioural observations and passive acoustic monitoring. Research is carried out in Slovenian waters and in the adjacent Italian and Croatian waters, as dolphins are not restricted by national boundaries. Morigenos holds all the necessary research permits for studying dolphins in this area. Apart from research, the project is carrying out extensive education and public awareness activities.\r\nBased on the Slovenian Dolphin Project, the Slovenian authorities have acknowledged the existence of a dolphin population in Slovenian waters and have taken the first steps (however small) towards its conservation. The results of Morigenos research are being used for Slovenia’s reporting to the international agreement ACCOBAMS (Agreement on the Conservation of Cetaceans of the Black Sea, Mediterranean Sea and Neighbouring Atlantic Area) on the status of cetaceans in Slovenia. The project also provided the scientific baseline for »Expert Recommendations Towards the National Action Plan for the Conservation of Cetaceans in Slovenia«, prepared jointly by the Institute of the Republic of Slovenia for Nature Conservation and Morigenos. The project received the »Ford Environmental and Conservation Award« in 2005.", "schema:identifier": {}, "schema:parentOrganization": { "schema:legalName": "", "schema:url": "" }, "schema:publishingPrinciples": [], "schema:foundingDate": "2002-01-01", "schema:dissolutionDate": "", "schema:areaServed": [ { "geosparql:hasGeometry": { "geosparql:asWKT": { "@type": "http://www.opengis.net/ont/geosparql#wktLiteral", "@value": "POLYGON ((13.723 45.593, 13.718 45.591, 13.717 45.591, 13.712 45.594, 13.708 45.594, 13.705 45.593, 13.704 45.592, 13.703 45.59, 13.704 45.589, 13.711 45.586, 13.711 45.585, 13.724 45.582, 13.726 45.58, 13.729 45.58, 13.734 45.574, 13.742 45.573, 13.742 45.57, 13.741 45.568, 13.746 45.568, 13.746 45.565, 13.737 45.564, 13.733 45.56, 13.747 45.559, 13.739 45.557, 13.734 45.558, 13.731 45.557, 13.732 45.553, 13.737 45.554, 13.738 45.552, 13.734 45.551, 13.726 45.551, 13.723 45.549, 13.724 45.549, 13.725 45.547, 13.719 45.543, 13.715 45.544, 13.711 45.547, 13.699 45.548, 13.691 45.548, 13.678 45.546, 13.676 45.542, 13.668 45.539, 13.666 45.541, 13.666 45.543, 13.657 45.542, 13.656 45.542, 13.654 45.537, 13.644 45.532, 13.639 45.533, 13.629 45.534, 13.622 45.536, 13.618 45.54, 13.614 45.54, 13.613 45.54, 13.612 45.538, 13.602 45.537, 13.601 45.531, 13.602 45.53, 13.603 45.532, 13.604 45.532, 13.606 45.531, 13.606 45.53, 13.602 45.527, 13.6 45.526, 13.598 45.527, 13.581 45.526, 13.576 45.527, 13.571 45.53, 13.564 45.531, 13.563 45.53, 13.563 45.529, 13.567 45.527, 13.566 45.521, 13.569 45.516, 13.573 45.513, 13.577 45.516, 13.582 45.513, 13.592 45.513, 13.592 45.512, 13.594 45.505, 13.594 45.504, 13.593 45.504, 13.587 45.502, 13.587 45.5, 13.588 45.5, 13.59 45.498, 13.592 45.5, 13.596 45.497, 13.603 45.495, 13.609 45.491, 13.619 45.487, 13.621 45.483, 13.618 45.479, 13.616 45.478, 13.61 45.479, 13.61 45.476, 13.614 45.473, 13.616 45.467, 13.615 45.465, 13.607 45.466, 13.524 45.512, 13.387 45.565, 13.63 45.63, 13.713 45.598, 13.719 45.594, 13.723 45.595, 13.723 45.593))" } } } ], "@id": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iobis/eov-metadata-app-front-entries/refs/heads/main/jsonFiles/Slovenian_Dolphin_Project/Slovenian_Dolphin_Project.json", "schema:keywords": [ { "@type": "schema:DefinedTerm", "schema:name": "Marine mammals abundance and distribution", "schema:url": "https://goosocean.org/eov/mammals" }, { "@type": "schema:DefinedTerm", "schema:name": "Marine turtles abundance and distribution", "schema:url": "https://goosocean.org/eov/turtles" }, { "@type": "schema:DefinedTerm", "schema:name": "Sea surface temperature", "schema:url": [ "http://purl.obolibrary.org/obo/ENVO_04000002", "https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/EXV/current/EXV017/", "https://goosocean.org/document/17466" ] }, { "@type": "schema:DefinedTerm", "schema:name": "Subsurface temperature", "schema:url": [ "https://vocab.nerc.ac.uk/collection/EXV/current/EXV018/", "https://goosocean.org/document/17467" ] } ], "schema:funding": [ { "@type": "schema:MonetaryGrant" } ], "schema:contactPoint": [], "schema:makesOffer": [] }, { "@type": "schema:Action", "agent": { "@type": "schema:ResearchProject", "@id": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iobis/eov-metadata-app-front-entries/refs/heads/main/jsonFiles/Slovenian_Dolphin_Project/Slovenian_Dolphin_Project.json", "name": "Slovenian Dolphin Project" }, "@id": "https://raw.githubusercontent.com/iobis/eov-metadata-app-front-entries/refs/heads/main/jsonFiles/Slovenian_Dolphin_Project/Slovenian_Dolphin_Project.json", "schema:description": "opportunistically", "instrument": [], "actionProcess": [] }, { "schema:frequency": "unknown" } ] }
