Always be mindful of your trash -- never litter!

Volunteer at a marine mammal rescue organization! There are many such rescue organizations around the world and most of them depend on volunteers to help care for injured and stranded marine mammals. When a stranding happens, countless volunteers are needed around the clock to help the animal survive. People are needed to do everything from the mundane to the intense such as making phone calls and keeping the rescue site clean, to preparing food and medicine for the animal, as well as supporting the injured animal in the water. Many rescue organizations offer free training classes so that volunteers are well prepared when a stranding occurs and the team needs to spring into action. Also, by volunteering with a rescue organization, you will eventually have hands-on personal interaction with amazing marine mammals -- often these are animals that you would normally never have the opportunity to meet. And you will be making a direct contribution to that animal's well being. We have been blessed to know rough-tooth dolphins, pilot whales, and pygmy sperm whales in this way. And even if these animals do not survive, you have the peace of mind that they were able to die in loving arms.

Donate to our dolphin communication research so that dolphins and whales will have a scientifically-undeniable voice in the world!
