Orkney Marine Mammal Research Initiative

About

Orkney Marine Mammal Research Initiative (OMMRI) aims to bridge the gap between existing conservation groups and what’s happening in Orkney, contributing data and collaborating on larger projects creating a better understanding of the different species in Orkney waters and ultimately helping to protect them for future generations to enjoy. We work with our local Orkney community to ensure marine mammals are valued and given the protection they deserve whilst in Orkney waters. As a locally based grassroots organisation, we undertake research and collate data relating to marine mammals within Orkney, in partnership with Orkney residents and national organisations, to encourage a culture of stewardship that utilises an evidence based approach to protect Orkney’s marine mammals.
