Cetacean Science Connections
Cetacean Science Connections is a social enterprise.
Our goal is to connect people and communities to cetaceans – whales and dolphins – and their environment through science.
When you think of science and a scientist, what image first springs to mind?
- A male, lab-coat wearing
Einstein type character? - A laboratory full of colourful,
bubbling chemicals and Bunsen burners?
But science is so much more. And scientists are not always male and don’t always wear lab coats.
Science is about being curious
Science is about asking questions and understanding the world around us


Cetaceans, science and you
How can you connect to science through cetaceans?
Become a cetacean steward
