Australian Marine Mammals Research Centre
At AMMRC we aim to promote the conservation of marine mammals and their environment by:
- increasing biological knowledge,
- monitoring selected marine mammal populations, and
- increasing public awareness by positive, conservation-based education programmes.
AMMRC was established in 1996 as a co-operative centre of the University of Sydney and the Zoological Parks Board of New South Wales.
Our group of researchers, behavioural ecologists and veterinarians, have experience working with:
- Seals of the Antarctic pack ice,
- Seal and cetacean populations in Australian waters, and
- Comparing southern and northern hemisphere endangered populations of cetaceans.
