Dolphinfund

Dolphinfund project homepage

Marine mammals share their habitats with human beings and are most of the time inferior to them, they can’t flee from human influences. In Germany mainly the porpoise suffers from human activities in the sea and on the shore. Therefore the porpoise is our ambassador for the protection of the North and Baltic Sea as a habitat

Dolphifund is a partner network of NGO’s, science, economy and municipalities beyond administrative borders.

Dolphinfund aims

• At reducing unnatural events of death of marine mammals by 90 per cent and to ensure their nutritional basis.
• To acquire and minimize threats for marine mammals and their habitat and develop new approaches for the regeneration of marine environment to achieve an effective protection for marine mammals.
