Alternate Offering!!As a result of frequent inquiries, DCP is pleased to announce the opportunity for students to participate in an abbreviated portion of our June 2009 Field Course in Cetacean Ecology at our Bimini, Bahamas field site.
Mainstream media has picked up the story of a World Conservation Society study which found "a stronghold for one of the world's rarest freshwater dolphins, the Irrawaddy."

A revitalized website is now up and running with some extra safety measures in place. Our apologies to anyone who may have been affected/infected.

More recently, Dr. Justin Gregg provided an interview for the Irish Veterinary Journal. You can read each piece by selecting the PDF links below.

In this video, Emie asks her questions and receives a video response from Justin Gregg - research associate at DCP. Emie's questions were:
1. How do dolphins hear high pitched sounds?
2.
