Dolphin education at sea: collaborations with local panoramic boat operators

At Morigenos, we are excited to begin a new season of spring educational programmes. Each year, our “blue classroom” at sea welcomes numerous school groups, offering students the opportunity to explore the world of marine mammals in their natural environment.
To ensure a high-quality experience for schools and to accommodate groups of varying sizes, we regularly collaborate with local panoramic boat operators. These partnerships provide us with the logistical flexibility needed to deliver our programmes at different locations along the Slovenian coast.
A new season aboard Bracera Meja
This spring, some of our first groups will be hosted aboard the vessel Bracera Meja. We are grateful to the crew for their openness and support in enabling us to deliver our educational content on dolphin biology, marine conservation, and biodiversity in a setting that brings participants closer to the natural environment.
We are pleased that the Slovenian coast offers diverse opportunities for the implementation of such programmes. Collaborating with a range of local operators allows us to adapt to different group sizes and the specific needs of individual schools, ensuring a high-quality experience for every participant.
Our programmes are designed to complement the school curriculum while encouraging a deeper appreciation of nature through direct experience. During the programme, pupils and students will learn:
    • How individual dolphins are identified using photo-identification techniques
    • Why the Gulf of Trieste is a key habitat for the common bottlenose dolphin (Tursiops truncatus)
    • How marine research is conducted and why scientific data are essential for conservation
    • How individuals can contribute to the protection of a clean and healthy marine ecosystem
