A person who studies dolphins and whales is called a Cetologist. The scientific classification for the group that includes dolphins and whales is called the Cetacea, or Cetaceans (porpoises are also included in this group). People who study the classifications and variety of species within this group may also consider themselves marine mammologists (the study of marine mammals, which would also include manatees and dugongs). Sorry for the late reply!
