## Description

The Oceania Project is a dedicated not-for-profit organization founded in 1988, focused on the conservation and protection of whales, dolphins, and the oceans. Based in Hervey Bay, Australia, the project has made significant strides in marine research, particularly through its long-term study of humpback whales conducted from 1992 to 2005. The organization offers unique opportunities for individuals to engage in hands-on research through its Internship Program, inviting over 1,500 eco-volunteers to join annual whale expeditions.

The Oceania Project also serves as a global information resource, having established its website in 1996 to promote awareness and knowledge about marine conservation. The founders, Trish and Wally, both PhD candidates and members of the Southern Cross University Whale Research Centre, have focused their studies on various aspects of humpback whale ecology, including abundance, social behavior, and migratory patterns. With an extensive archive of over 70,000 images for photo-identification and ongoing genetic analysis, The Oceania Project plays a crucial role in advancing marine conservation efforts.
