| Caring
for the Whales, Dolphins & Oceans |
|
 The Oceania Project is a non-profit organisation established in 1988 to raise awareness about Cetacea (Whales and Dolphins) and the Oceans through research, expeditions and educational activities.
In 1992 The Oceania Project implemented a long-term study of the Humpback Whales visiting Hervey Bay. Working in conjunction and collaboration with the Queensland Environment Protection Agency (QEPA), information obtained about the humpbacks is being used in the management and monitoring program for the Hervey Bay Marine Park.
The Oceania Project website provides current Cetacean news, resource and educational material and ways and means you can participate in the conservation and care of
Cetacea. |
