mission

Oceanomare-Delphis Onlus advances the science and practice of conserving cetaceans and marine biological diversity, implementing non-invasive studies, promoting education and conservation programs and enhancing public awareness of, and concern for, cetaceans and the marine environment.

Oceanomare-Delphis Onlus holds these values:

The natural diversity of organisms and the complexity and functioning of ecological systems have an intrinsic value and are of invaluable relevance for humankinds: human‐caused extinctions and destruction of natural ecosystems are unacceptable.

Science is critical for understanding how the natural world operates and how human actions affect nature: collaboration among scientists, managers and policy‐makers is crucial to incorporate science into management decisions affecting marine environment.

 Key threatening processes affect cetaceans and marine life: preserving cetaceans and marine biological diversity are individual and collective responsibilities of humans.
