奧馬魯藍企鵝保護中心雖然是遊客景點，但同時是一個研究及保護中心。整個保護中心的運作核心是一個長期的企鵝保育計劃，旨在保護企鵝及其數量持續增長。這個保育計劃的重要部分是保護中心的一位海洋生物學家，她現在已經是新西蘭研究小企鵝的領軍人物了。保護中心的保育計劃還延及到保護及監測整個地區的企鵝。

The Oamaru Blue Penguin Colony provides visitors with an opportunity to see little penguins in their natural environment. A tour during the day allows visitors to peek into the penguins’ nests, stroll through their habitat and learn about their fascinating lives. In the evening, visitors are captivated by watching the nightly arrival of penguins from their days’ fishing at sea.
The Colony is a tourism operation with a strong research and conservation focus. At the core of the operation is a long-term conservation programme that ensures the penguins are protected and that the population achieves long-term stability. An important and unique part of that conservation programme is the Colony’s Research Scientist who is now one of New Zealand’s leading little penguin experts. The programme is not limited to work at the site however, but extends further afield to include protection and monitoring of penguins elsewhere within the region.
