Research
Dedicated to protecting the marine environment through research projects
The Sea World Foundation is proud to conduct and support vital research projects into marine wildlife, wildlife health, ecology and disease. Through these research projects, the Sea World Foundation aims to raise a greater knowledge, appreciation and awareness for the marine environment and the issues facing it. The Foundation conducts research with universities and like-minded organisations through monetary, expertise, personnel, equipment and other in-kind donations.
Recent Research Projects
Dugong Population Research
In one of the longest running research projects, the Sea World Foundation supports an annual health assessment on the Dugong population in Moreton Bay with the University of Queensland. This project, led by Dr. Janet Lanyon is the only dugong health program undertaken in the world and has enabled us to establish baseline clinical health parameters for this species while also identifying the importance of protecting seagrass beds in the area. These assessments are conducted by a highly-skilled team of biologists and veterinarians who assess clinical health, body condition and reproductive status of the species.
