DCP first met Bimini Undersea (then Bill & Nowdla Keefe’s Bimini Undersea) in 1997 during the filming of DOLPHINS. Bill & Nowdla were so welcoming and encouraging of DCP’s research off Bimini.

Bimini Adventures, headed by Al Sweeting Jr, have formally supported DCP’s research off Bimini, The Bahamas since 2006. Operating out of Sea Crest Hotel & Marina, Bimini Adventures grant space for DCP researchers on their trips in search of wild dolphins. Al, with more than 20 years experience guiding tourists on and under the waters of Bimini, and his crew are a pleasure to work with.

Dudzinski began DCP’s studies of the dolphins at Zoo Duisburg in late 2012. She was invited to observe the dolphins and spent time documenting their behavior and vocalizations. There are nine dolphins calling the dolphinarium at Zoo Duisburg home. When Dudzinski visited in 2012 and 2013, 1 adult male, 3 adult females, 2 subadult females, and 2 male and 1 female calves called the dolphinarium home.
The Zoo opened in 1935 and was well received with more than 300,000 visitors in it’s first year. Though severely bombed during WWII, the zoo survived and rebuilt.

Founded in 1989, the primary objective of the Roatan Institute for Marine Sciences (RIMS) is the preservation of Roatan’s natural resources through education and research. In the past decade, RIMS has established itself as a dedicated teaching institution. RIMS is visited year-round by students and groups from colleges, universities and high schools from abroad who study tropical marine ecosystems as well as the bottlenose dolphins who reside at Bailey’s Key.

Dolphin Encounters (DE) at Blue Lagoon Island is one of the top tourist attractions in Nassau, The Bahamas and is owned and operated by a local family. DE began in 1989 when two Atlantic Bottlenose dolphins were rescued from an aquarium that closed in Nassau. The animals were relocated to a large all-natural seawater dolphin habitat on Treasure Island, Abaco, The Bahamas. Soon after, six more dolphins joined their marine mammal family, which created the foundation of what is today known as Dolphin Encounters.
