"Can you imagine the ocean without dolphins?
Neither can we."

The Wild Dolphin Foundation protects dolphins through research, advocacy, and education. Our mission is to change the human behavior that threatens the well-being of dolphins worldwide.


"Never doubt that a small group of people can change the world, Indeed, it's the only thing that ever has" Margaret Mead

WHAT YOU CAN DO

Every year from October through April fishermen in remote Japanese villages brutally kill about 20,000 dolphins. This is the largest massacre of cetacean anywhere in the world. The fishermen kill the dolphins primarily as a form of "pest control." They say the dolphins eat too many fish, and they need to eradicate the competition. If the fishermen didn't get a permit from Tokyo, they would have to stop the killings immediately.

We need to let the Japanese authorities know that these crimes against nature are unacceptable to the rest of the world. Therefore, a world-wide protest has been organized to send a powerful message to the Japanese government: STOP THE DOLPHIN SLAUGHTER. The ways to take action are very simple, click on a few buttons and send letters to their government and prime minister. The letters are already prepared all you need to do is add your name.

Whales and dolphins exposed to mid-frequency sonar have repeatedly stranded and died on beaches around the world. During the last Navy RIMPAC excercises in Hawaii in 2004, 150 melon-headed whales beached themselves in Hanalei Bay. After lawsuit threats, the Navy agreed to use intense sonar sparingly (is that an oxymoron?), and not at all for 25 miles around the recently protected Northwest chain of the Hawaiian Islands. They have also agreed to turn down the sonar if marine mammals are spotted in other areas. Given the far reaching properiteies of sonar, animals well outside of "other areas" will be affected.
The Wild Dolphin Foundation will be out on the water looking for displaced, and distressed animals. We have (wo)manpower and vessels but our budget will run low for gas to power the vessels. Any donations would be appreciated. If all of our friends gave just $1 we would be well- armed to go to battle for the dolphins - who have no voice in the matter. The button below will direct you to PayPal where you can use checks or credit cards. We and the Dolphins appreciate it!
