RICERCA SCIENTIFICA

CONFERENZE E CONVEGNI
Il Delfinario di Rimini partecipa a conferenze, convegni e seminari con presentazioni orali
e poster relativi agli studi realizzati col proprio supporto. In tal modo esso si propone di portare
un contributo ad una miglior conoscenza scientifica e sensibilizzazione a favore dell’ecosistema
acquatico e dei suoi abitanti, cetacei in particolare.
