About the Sarawak Dolphin Project

In addition to its research initiatives, the Sarawak Dolphin Project raises awareness of marine mammals and their conservation needs through scientific and popular press and community workshops.

Sarawak Shell Berhad provides funding and logistic support, while the Sarawak Forestry Corporation provides staffing, expertise, permits and permissions, and liaises with the Sarawak State Government to implement conservation plans. Universiti Malaysia Sarawak (UNIMAS) administers the project and provides academic expertise and graduate trainee researchers. Volunteers, including those from Shell and the Malaysian Nature Society, assist with research and participate to learn about dolphin conservation.
