Adopt the Dorset dolphins

You can support the local dolphin studies and find out more about Dorset's unique marine life by adopting the Dorset dolphins. All the money raised from adoptions goes into helping the project learn more about the dolphins seen off Dorset.

Become a corporate adopter of the Dorset dolphins

Over the last few years, dramatic changes have been seen in the dolphins using the Dorset coast, and the support of local businesses is now urgently needed to continue the work of the Dorset Marine Mammal Research Programme. One way in which your organisation can become involved with this vital research is through the corporate adopt the Dorset dolphins scheme
