22.208628571429Protect Wild Dolphins
We explore the life history, behavior, habitat use, social lives, and communication of wild dolphins. In addition to gathering critical baseline data, we shed light on how the health of these top predators, and the conditions of the natural resources they depend upon, directly and indirectly, impact our own health and well-being.$7,773.02 donated of $35,000.00 goal -
18.125125Drones and Dolphins
We are developing a process combining drone technology with artificial intelligence to provide us with a fast monitoring and identification system. And because dolphins spent most of their time below the surface, we are also experimenting with an underwater ROV so we can expand our observations into the underwater world.$1,450.01 donated of $8,000.00 goal -
18Stop Ocean Littering
For more than twenty years, we have used our dolphin research to illustrate how ocean litter, especially plastics, threatens marine life and our own health. Hundreds of thousands of animals, including dolphins and sea birds, die every year due to the ingestion of marine litter they mistook for food, or entanglement in fishing lines or ghost nets.$2,250.00 donated of $12,500.00 goal -
