Public Outreach & Education
Public awareness is crucial if we are to save wild dolphins.
Direct threats to wild dolphins come from humans feeding wild dolphins and from fishing gear that can entangle or otherwise harm dolphins.
Our outreach efforts are designed to inform the public about the threat, and we help gather public support to reduce it.
We also use education to help youth appreciate the uniqueness of dolphins.
Towards that end, we conduct programs for schools and children groups, and we make available a curriculum for high school teachers that was developed with Federal support.
