Your donation directly supports scientific research, conservation programmes and local engagement events, helping us better understand and protect the remarkable marine ecosystems of Algoa Bay and the Addo Canyons.

Adopt a Cetacean

Create a personal connection with one of Algoa Bay’s remarkable marine mammals.

Through our adoption programme, you can symbolically adopt a dolphin or whale identified through our research projects. Your support helps fund ongoing monitoring, photo-identification studies, and conservation initiatives.

Name a Dolphin

Algoa Bay is home to one of the world’s largest populations of Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins and was named the “Bottlenose Dolphin Capital of the World” in 2016.

By adopting and naming a dolphin, your donation supports research, monitoring and conservation, helping us better understand and protect these remarkable animals.
