Agency Details:

The Wild Dolphin Foundation is creating change in human behaviors threatening the well-being of dolphin (and our) environments.

A safe home for dolphins is a safe place for humans to visit.

We work with integrity and in collaboration with volunteers, backers, independent researchers and scientists, behaviorists, children and schools, the general public, tour operators, recreational boaters and fisherpeople.

Description:
We are a grassroots, registered charity protecting and restoring the natural habitats of dolphins through research, advocacy, public education and conservation.

We use photo identifications obtained from the field to study both the population parameters of the coastal dolphins, abundance and distribution of varying cetacean species and video and journals to log and study behavior. Field studies are a valuable tool that can be applied to worldwide conservation efforts.

History:
The Wild Dolphin Foundation,founded in 2001, grew out of the need to conserve the habitats of oceanic dolphins, growing from the recognition of the unregulated increase of dolphin-interaction based tourism and the adverse effects of land activities on the ocean environment, and to reconnect humans to nature.
