9.0 How can you adopt a dolphin or whale?
Following are some dolphin and whale adoption programs. Most provide a certificate, photo, chart, and quarterly newsletter.
This list was created by Trisha Lamb Feuerstein (dolphintlf@aol.com) based on several sources, but a large portion of the information, especially Canadian information was found in Patricia Corrigan's book "The Whale Watcher's Guide: Whale-Watching Trips in North America".
Contact the organizations or check out their Web sites if there is one for more information about the programs.
