ADOPT A DOLPHIN

How can YOU help protect the dolphins of Koombana Bay?

Why not adopt one of your own? We’ll send you a kit of information about the Centre and your dolphin and you’ll be helping us to continue our important research, conservation and education programs.

By adopting a dolphin you will be helping the Dolphin Discovery Centre to:

  • Educate the public about dolphins and the environment in which they live
  • Increase awareness of the need to protect dolphins and all other marine mammals
  • Observe and study the dolphins to better understand their complex lives and monitor the impact of humans on the dolphins and the Bay
  • Provide opportunities for people to interact with wild dolphins in a supervised setting where no harm will come to the dolphins
  • Assist the Department of Conservation and Land Management in the rescue and rehabilitation of stranded or injured dolphins and other marine life

The Adoption Package

Our Adoption package gives you the opportunity to receive updated information and provides the Dolphin Discovery Centre with financial support. The major adoption program details are below:

For a AUD$50.00 commitment you receive:

  •  Certificate of your adoption

  • Profile of your adoption

  • An Adopt-A-Dolphin booklet

  • Photograph of your dolphin

  • Magnet, postcard etc

  • 4 Newsletters

  • 4 updates on your dolphin

Where Your Sponsorship Money Goes

The AUD$50 commitment goes into the production of the information and the forwarding of the updates. The remainder of the money goes into our research, education and conservation projects. These vary from time to time and a great way to keep informed is to check on the website each week and catch up with the latest news items.
