Our partners - The Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums

Dedicated to Conservation through Public Display, Education and Research

The Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums is an international association representing marine life parks, aquariums, zoos, research facilities and professional organizations dedicated to the highest standards of care for marine mammals and to their conservation in the wild through public education, scientific study, and wildlife presentations.

Only those aquariums, zoos, oceanariums, research institutions, and marine life parks that aspire to the Alliance’s high ideals are accepted as members. These facilities must be able to meet the state-of-the-art standards for animal care in the association’s Standards and Guidelines on which accreditation in the Alliance is based.

Dolphin Research Center has always made the well-being of our family pod our highest priority. The Alliance’s ideals, standards and practices are a perfect match for our organization’s philosophies.

A member of the Alliance since its inception in the late 1980s and one of the first members to achieve full accreditation in 2002, DRC works with other leaders in the field to improve the standards and guidelines used to provide optimal conditions for the animals in our care. Efforts extend beyond our own facilities as Alliance members are dedicated to the conservation of marine mammals and their environments around the world.
