A playful, young dolphin from our Bimini, Bahamas field site has received her name! ID#084 is now known as "Addie." Addie is a juvenile female who was first added to our photo-ID catalog in 2006. She is the independent offspring of Trudy (#57) and received her name from DCP supporter Sandra Roberts. Now that Addie's name is official, you can support DCP's research and education programs by adopting her today! Want something a little more flattering? How about a nice comfy t-shirt with her image front and center? Click to adopt Addie or click to shop Addie Gear. And of course, she has her very own Dolphin Trading Card - click here to order yours!

All new DCP Membership Program
DCP welcomes the support of our dolphin adoptive parents, our DRT participants (and parents) and our members. Over the past several years, DCP has revamped most of our programs - making them more accessible, with more current information and reflecting our expanding set of results and programs. Our last remaining program for revision is our Membership Program. DCP is pleased to unveil our completely redesigned Membership Programs. These memberships allow a DCP supporter to target which aspect of DCP’s programs their donated funds will assist. And, in keeping with a conservation focus, DCP is offering a few select items for each membership that reflect environmental stewardship throughout the year. So, take a gander at our new Membership Program details and join our efforts! tinyurl.com/DCPMembership

Stephanie Letourneau, one of DCP' DRTs (i.e., a student in the Dolphin Research Trainee 2010 class), has started a blog all about her experiences in the class as she prepares for her field trip to Bimini, The Bahamas. You can check out her blog at this link. It's very enjoyable - thank you Stephanie for sharing your enthusiasm for dolphins and the DRT program with everyone!

One of our favorite Bimini dolphins (oh, wait, aren't they all our favorites!?) has just received a name! ID#078, now called "Speedy," was named by Jenni MacArthur for Mark Tse. Speedy is a juvenile male who is just that. And when he rolls over, you can see his big, dark, belly spot! Now that Speedy's name is official, you can support DCP's research and education programs by adopting him today! Want something a little more flattering? How about a nice cozy sweatshirt with his image front and center? Click to adopt Speedy or click to shop Speedy Gear.
