Taras Oceanographic Foundation

Our vision is to advance our knowledge about dolphins and the long-term survival of both people and the oceans, through research, education, and cultural programs.

Our mission is to develop and carry out all of our operations and programs, with minimal overhead and in accordance with sustainability principles.

The Palm Beach Dolphin Project is the flagship program of the Taras Oceanographic Foundation. We focus exclusively on wild dolphins living in our coastal waters, which we study, photograph and video-record during boat-based surveys.

Advancing our knowledge about dolphins and the long-term survival of both people and the oceans, through long-term research, education, and cultural programs. More than valuable intellectual exercises, these studies teach us to care about the world.
