Programs that need your
urgent attention
The current algae crisis threatens the health and well being of dolphins and people. This makes our work of continuously monitoring of our local dolphin populations even more critical. Let us all commit to protect our rivers, estuaries and coastal waters and ensure that dolphins and all other living things will be around for future generations. Sign up for our Newsletter.

0Protect Wild Dolphins
We explore the behavior, habitat use, social lives, and communication skills 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.$0.00 donated of $35,000.00 goal -
0Adopt-a-Dolphin
More than a valuable intellectual exercise, our dolphin conservation studies teach us to care about the world. Generally, understanding begets caring. Please consider adopting a dolphin. It is meaningful and lasting, and at the end of each year you will receive an update about when, where and with whom your dolphin was seen.$0.00 donated of $8,000.00 goal -
0An Ocean of Inspiration
John Olguin has inspired many of us to pursue a life of personal and professional generosity, humanity, love and commitment to protect our oceans, the world around us, and our communities. His story is exemplary so let’s share it with current and future generations everywhere.$0.00 donated of $12,500.00 goal -
0Drones and Dolphins
We are developing drones to provide us with a unique birds-eye view of dolphins, their movement patterns, behavior and more, without disturbing them. And because dolphins spent most of their time below the surface, we are also developing an underwater ROV so we can expand our observations into the underwater world. No doubt, new discoveries lie ahead.$0.00 donated of $10,000.00 goal -
Meet the Scientist Lecture Series
This program promotes the dialogue between scientists and the people of the communities in which they live and work. Hosted at Jupiter High School, it has attracted world-class speakers and an average audience of 280 people. No doubt, one of the most successful programs of its kind in Florida.$0.00 donated
