Be a Sentinel for the Sea: Support The Dolphin Project

Help Us Protect the "Fingerprints" of Our Ocean's Health

For over 30 years, The Dolphin Project (TDP) has been on the water, working to protect the Bottlenose dolphins that call our Eastern Seaboard home. But this isn't just about saving dolphins—it's about protecting the health of the environment we all share.

Dolphins are a sentinel species—their well-being is a direct indicator of our own. When they thrive, we thrive. When they are at risk, we all are.

Your donation today directly fuels our work:

Crucial Surveys: We organize all-volunteer boat surveys to document dolphins and photograph their unique dorsal fins—the equivalent of a human fingerprint. This vital data helps us track individual health, population trends, and movements.
Essential Research: The data we collect is shared with top scientists, universities, and government agencies, providing the critical foundation for effective marine conservation policy.
Powerful Education: We bring the wonder of dolphins into classrooms and communities, inspiring the next generation of environmental stewards and spreading awareness about our shared marine ecosystem.

TDP is an all-volunteer, 501(c)3 non-profit organization. That means nearly every dollar goes straight to our work—keeping our boats running, our cameras clicking, and our educational programs active.

Give today and help us continue this work. Help us continue to be the eyes and ears for these magnificent creatures and the environment we depend on. Your support is the most important tool in our kit.
