Where do your funds go?

By adopting a dolphin, you will be helping the Dolphin Ecology & Acoustics Project to continue their research in the Byron Bay and Gold Coast regions.  Your funds will go directly towards:

  • Increasing the understanding of dolphin ecology and their needs for survival by continuing passive and non-invasive research on wild dolphins.
  • Assessing the impacts of human activities and developing ways to minimise the negative impacts from these activities to protect and conserve dolphins and their environment.
  • Increasing public awareness and knowledge about dolphins, their habitat and how to protect them from harm.
  • Assisting National Parks to rescue and rehabilitate stranded or distressed dolphins

We greatly appreciate your support in helping us to protect these incredible animals and their environment into the future.
