Welcome to The Wild Dolphin Project

The Wild Dolphin Project is a scientific research organization that studies and reports on a specific pod of free-ranging Atlantic spotted dolphins (Stenella frontalis). Objectives of this long-term, non-invasive field research are to gather information on the natural history of these dolphins, including behaviors, social structure, communication, and habitat; and to report what we have learned to the scientific community and the general public.

WDP seeks to contribute informed knowledge to help create awareness and preserve the natural environment through appreciation of all the biodiversity on our planet; ultimately promoting an educated and informed constituency who can vote and voice their concerns about policy and action-based decisions regarding our native world.

2008 GUGGENHEIM FELLOW

Dr. Denise L. Herzing, Research Director and Founder of The Wild Dolphin Project, has been recently recognized by the John Simon Guggenheim Foundation as a 2008 Fellow. This prestigious award recognizes Herzing’s dedication as a scientist and was “appointed on the basis of stellar achievement and exceptional promise for continued accomplishment” which is stated in Guggenheim Foundation’s press release on April 3, 2008.

“I am most honored to have been chosen among both current and past Guggenheim Fellows. I thank those who have helped me pursue my dream of studying wild dolphins” states Dr. Herzing. This award will help in the writing of her book, which will illuminate the lives of these dolphins - “In Their World, On Their Terms”.
