Charity registered in Scotland SC050461
The Orkney Marine Mammal Research Initiative (OMMRI) is a charity that aims to monitor Orkney's marine mammals, including whales, dolphins, and porpoises, to better understand their distribution and status. Established in July 2020, OMMRI fills a historical gap in local data collection through community-based research, public education, and the use of tools like a Telegram sightings group to gather and share real-time information. Its mission is to protect Orkney's marine mammals through research and education by fostering a sense of stewardship in the community.
