The mission of the BDRI since 2005 has been to study marine biodiversity and to educate scientists, students, decision-makers, and the public on scientific research and how to contribute to marine conservation. BDRI scientists conduct research across a wide range of subject areas such as the link between marine predators (cetaceans, otters, and marine birds) and their environment, cetacean society and population dynamics, the interaction between marine megafauna and human activities, and cetacean behaviour
The incredible diversity of cetaceans present in our study area (Galicia, NW Spain) allows the BDRI team to have several ongoing research projects focused on the study of the ecology and behaviour of common bottlenose dolphins ( Tursiops truncatus ), harbour porpoises ( Phocoena phocoena ), Risso's dolphins ( Grampus griseus ), short-beaked common dolphins ( Delphinus delphis ), Risso’s dolphins ( Grampus griseus ), striped dolphins ( Stenella coeruleoalba ), long-finned pilot whales ( Globicephala melas ),
