Conducting research on dolphins and porpoise is the first important step toward protecting them and their living habitats. HKDCS has been extensively involved in a number of research projects in Hong Kong and in the greater China region to improve the overall knowledge of coastal cetaceans in these areas. In this section, find out what research projects HKDCS have supported, and how HKDCS researchers conduct studies to understand the daily lives of local Chinese white dolphins and finless porpoises. Here you can also learn more about our Research Internship Programme and University Student Programme that provide ample opportunities for students to get involved in local cetacean research and conservation works.
