The Marine Education and Conservation Centre has been set up to provide an activity centre, combined with education and research facilities, to support the Dolphin Care and Feeding Program.

The Centre is the first contact for guests wishing to take part in the feeding session. Guests are required to register at the centre and at the same time are advised of the procedures governing feeding.

Information and completed research available include:

• Photographs and a brief history of the dolphins, which frequent Tangalooma.
• Posters of dolphins and descriptions of their characteristics
• Posters and information of Whales, Dugongs, Marine and Wildlife
• Brochures outlining the Dolphin Care and Feeding Program
• Video presentations and talks on understanding of dolphin behaviour and needs, Whales, Marine Life, Wildlife and general natural history documentaries.
  
• A library of books and publications on dolphins and whales from various authors including government and conservation agencies
• And of course out Tangalooma Dolphin Education scientists and staff are happy to discuss or answer any questions our guests may have.

The Centre provides office facilities for our Marine Scientists and acts as a base for sponsored researchers to collate and process data. Every opportunity is taken to give people an understanding on the conservation of wild dolphins and thereby encourage them to take steps to preserve the environment.

For all session times, please refer to your "What's On" which is available upon arrival at Tangalooma Holt Street Launch.
Open 9am - 12 noon and 1pm - 5pm daily
