The Dolphin Project

The Dolphin Project is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the protection and welfare of dolphins worldwide. Founded in 1970 by activist Ric O'Barry, the project focuses on ending dolphin captivity and the inhumane practices associated with capturing them for entertainment. It promotes conservation efforts, raises public awareness about the intelligence and social needs of dolphins, and documents the impact of human activities on their populations and habitats. The Dolphin Project's initiatives include rescue operations, educational outreach, and partnerships with other organizations to advocate for stronger protections for marine life.
