Your adoption
Adopting a whale or dolphin may feel like a small way to support a big cause, but they make an incredible difference. Last year money raised allowed us to:
- put a stop to the horrific minke whale experiments in Norway.
- fund Shorewatch, our citizen science programme in Scotland.
- provided essential funding for OrcaLab, an orca research station in Canada.
- enabled our adopt a dolphin field officer to attend strandings.
- help fund the Scottish Dolphin Centre, our visitor center in Scotland.
- helped our team in the US to study humpback whales.
- campaign to prevent whale and dolphin deaths in fishing gear around the UK coastline.
- campaign to end the terrible lockdown experienced by whales and dolphins held in captivity.
