Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder

Here’s how you can help support our dolphin response work

Your donations and our swim programs are the only sources of funding we have available to support the respond and rescue work we do, as DPMMR is a Not-for-Profit organization. Properly caring for our dolphins is expensive! Veterinary care (veterinarian, vitamin supplements, medication, supplies) runs about $1,250 per dolphin, every month. And feeding them a nutritious diet of fish is $1,000 for each dolphin, every month!

Anything you can give will make a big difference and 100% of your tax-deductible donation goes directly towards continuing the great work of Dolphins Plus Marine Mammal Responder. We’re immensely proud of the difference we make for our ocean friends, and we invite you to share that feeling with us. Thanks for your support.

Every penny you give to DPMMR is used to support our resident Atlantic bottlenose ambassadors as well as rescue and rehabilitate injured or stranded marine mammals. Your donation will directly save lives.
