Category
Best Project of Building or Facility by Student

About the project (provided by the applicant)
The project envisions a research complex for studying and training combat dolphins, creating a unique facility with both scientific-educational and military-strategic significance.

The main goal of the complex is to train dolphins for military applications. These animals possess unique abilities that can be effectively used in naval reconnaissance and in detecting enemy objects, such as surface UAVs and saboteurs. Additionally, dolphins can assist in locating mines and torpedoes left from World War II, which is especially relevant for the Hero City of Novorossiysk.

During the summer, a temporary dolphinarium will be set up on the waterfront for public shows, promoting scientific research and raising awareness about marine biodiversity conservation.
