Why adopt a dolphin?

“I can thoroughly recommend adopting a dolphin with WDCS. It’s a fantastic way to support their amazing work. Plus, you get to know your very own dolphin!” Miranda Krestovinikoff, WDCS Patron and BBC TV Presenter.
Dolphins are amazing but they need our protection. The dolphins of Scotland’s Moray Firth face many dangers.
Activities such as oil and gas exploration and production, large marina development, chemical pollution, fisheries and more are increasingly putting pressure on the dolphins and their home.
By adopting a dolphin you will build a special link with an individual animal and help us to protect the whole population.
Extinction is forever – the Moray Firth dolphins cannot be replaced.
When you adopt a dolphin you will be helping to fund our work protecting dolphins around the world including:
- The essential research carried out by WDCS and the University of Aberdeen – the more we understand about the dolphins, the better we can protect them.
- Educational materials to help more people protect the dolphins.
- Equipment such as binoculars, cameras and acoustic recorders to help with our work protecting the dolphins.
