Atlantic spotted dolphins can be recognized as individuals for years—just by nature’s details ✨
🔹 Unique spot patterns
🔹 Distinct dorsal fins
🔹 One-of-a-kind flukes
These natural markers help WDP scientists track over years—no tags needed.
Happy Saturday!

Second only to the bond between mother and calf, males also form life-long bonds, usually as a pair but sometimes as a trio, as seen here.

🎉 ANOTHER North Atlantic right whale mom and calf pair has been spotted!
“Cascade” and her newborn are two of around 380 remaining North Atlantic right whales.
With so few left, each one of these whales are worth celebrating – and protecting 👉 oceana.ly/3Nd7qkB

There are so many ways to support the research and conservation nonprofits you care about—memberships, donations, store purchases, and sharing their stories.
For the Wild Dolphin Project, that support directly sustains long-term dolphin research and education.

🎄 Day 8 of the 12 Days of Saving Dolphins
Keep beaches clean. Pick up trash—even what isn’t yours. Fishing line and plastic are silent killers in dolphin habitats.

🐬 12 Days of Helping Dolphins — Day 7
Reduce boat impacts.
Slow down in dolphin areas, keep a safe distance, and never chase or surround them. If dolphins approach, put engines in neutral and let them pass.
Mindful boating keeps dolphins safe. 🌊💙

🐬 12 Days of Saving Dolphins — Day 6
Seeing dolphins in the wild is magical—but how we do it matters.
The Marine Mammal Protection Act protects dolphins from harm and disturbance. Close boats & swimmers cause stress and waste energy.
Let dolphins be wild. 💙

🌊🐬 This Black Friday, we’re choosing blue—and green—by joining @REI’s #OptOutside. Step away from the rush and reconnect with nature: walk the beach, hit a trail, or simply enjoy a moment by the water.
How will you #OptOutside this year?
