Founded in 1985 by Dr. Denise Herzing, WDP is the longest running underwater wild dolphin research organization in the world. Focused on behavior and communication on dolphins in the wild, we're determined to "Crack the Code" of dolphin communication. Through generosity of friends such as you, we are able to learn more about the dolphins and the environment they live. The more we learn, the better equipped we are to help protect them "In Their World...On Their Terms."
