SWIMMING WITH DOLPHINS?

ACRES is conducting research on the dolphins in Singapore waters. We aim to establish population numbers, estimate the distribution, analyse the social structure and identify the threats faced by the dolphins. We aim to develop conservation strategies to protect the dolphins in our waters.

A lot of you have asked if the research involves SWIMMING with the dolphins. The answer is NO. We are conducting non-invasive research from a boat, keeping an appropriate distance to ensure the safety and welfare of the dolphins. We stress the importance of respecting the dolphins and giving them the space they need in their natural habitat. The dolphin researchers are making a conscious effort to ensure that we conduct responsible research. We hope that this information addresses any of your concerns.
