Sussex Dolphin Project is committed to protecting local dolphin species through research, awareness and education in the local community.

The project’s research is evidence-based and captured via the Sussex Dolphin Project Citizen science programme. We aspire to work collaboratively with organisations and individuals to create a sightings network and aim to increase opportunities for residents to get involved with marine conservation by providing affordable training.

Our research objective is to identify individual dolphins/pods, in order to better understand their behaviour, movement, prey species and breeding sites. This data can then be used to protect our marine environment and ultimately safeguard Sussex marine mammals.

As part of our overall mission, we also seek to highlight the importance of a healthy marine environment and encourage action to protect local marine life and habitats as evidenced through the Dolphins Aren’t Discard Campaign developed with our partners at the World Cetacean Alliance to stop dolphins dying in Supertrawler nets.
