The Dolphin Communication Project
We all love dolphins. We love their grace, their speed and their playful natures. We are drawn to them and their ocean home. After receiving many requests for dolphin adoption and naming opportunities, in 2002, DCP launched our Bimini Atlantic spotted dolphin Adopt-A-Dolphin and Name-A-Dolphin Programs.
The adoption and naming initiatives help to fund our Bahamas dolphin research, as well as education programs for children and adults who care passionately about dolphins. Both programs allow DCP to promote conservation and management of dolphin populations as well as the health of our oceans, their home. Each year, we hope to expand our Adopt-a-Dolphin and Name-A-Dolphin programs by adding dolphins to our roster.

Working with Bimini Undersea, DCP hopes to fund our summer field work gathering data on the spotted dolphins around Bimini. In addition to being available online, Adoption brochures will be available at Bimini Undersea through DCP at Mystic Aquarium & Institute for Exploration, and at Dolphin Encounters in Nassau, The Bahamas.

Both packets include a certificate, a photo of your adopted (or named) dolphin, a spotted dolphin fact sheet, biographies of our named dolphins, a DCP flyer, and a copy of our most recent issue of the Dolphin Gazette.
