The Cetacean Research Institute (Japan) is an organization dedicated to studying whales, dolphins, and other large marine mammals, known as cetaceans. Based in Japan, it conducts scientific research to understand their biology, behavior, and ecology. The institute also plays a role in monitoring populations and ecosystems, often collaborating internationally. Its findings help inform conservation efforts and policy decisions regarding marine life protection. While it is best known for its research activities, the institute's work is essential for promoting sustainable coexistence between humans and these intelligent marine creatures.
