"Dolphin Research Center is a not-for-profit organization with goals to promote peaceful coexistence, cooperation and communication between marine mammals, humans and the environment we share through research and education and to operate for the advancement of research and education. The health and well being of DRC’s dolphins holds absolute precedence over all other interests. DRC will undertake no program or activity that compromises this basic commitment.”

DRC’s dolphin research teaches the world more about the amazing abilities of this species. Every program, whether it’s an interactive dolphin encounter, a dolphin education experience such as DolphinLab or Dolphin Camp, or our special needs activities for people with disabilities, expands peoples’ knowledge and appreciation of marine mammals.

Dolphin Research Center is funded by people who visit the facility to see the dolphins and sea lions, swim with dolphins, or take part in another program, as well as by those who join the DRC family when they adopt a dolphin or enroll in one of our other membership plans.
