Bottlenose Dolphins: Conservation Organizations

SARASOTA DOLPHIN RESEARCH PROGRAM

We conduct the longest-running study of a wild dolphin population in the world and have been learning about the daily lives and threats to the dolphins of Sarasota Bay, Florida, since our program began in October 1970.

Today, we share our knowledge through national and international collaborations designed to help conserve wild dolphin populations — not just in Florida and in the U.S., but throughout the world.

Our goal with every research and conservation project that we undertake locally, nationally and internationally is to contribute to a better understanding of the structure and dynamics of dolphin, whale, and porpoise populations, as well as the natural and human-induced factors that impact them.

NATIONAL MARINE MAMMAL FOUNDATION

The National Marine Mammal Foundation (NMMF) has a mission to improve and protect life for marine mammals, humans, and our shared oceans through science, service & education.

MONTEREY BAY AQUARIUM SEAFOOD WATCH PROGRAM

Helping transform how seafood is fished and farmed so people and planet can thrive.

We use science to assess the environmental sustainability of seafood products on the U.S. market and then use those findings to transform how seafood is fished and farmed.
