What it all means for the DDC

The successful development of infrastructure, scientific expertise, and a primary research program will see the Dolphin Discovery Centre reach its potential as a nationally and internationally recognised dolphin research centre. Being known as a renowned centre for research it will attract scientists from prestigious institutions worldwide. Media, in many forms, will arrive in Bunbury and long term positive effects on the environment and economy of the region are expected. Findings from research conducted in Bunbury will add significantly to the pool of current knowledge on the topic of the sustainability of wild dolphins, and their significance as important community resource. Such knowledge will have implications for conservation and management of wildlife both in Bunbury and worldwide.
