Join us in celebrating Dr. Herzing's 40 years studying spotted dolphins in the wild. These sponsorship levels highlight 4 generations of an Atlantic spotted dolphin family line observed by Dr. Herzing and her team of researchers at The Wild Dolphin Project.
Dr. Herzing first observed Nippy in 1985 when she founded the project. In 1992, Nippy and her daughter, Nassau, were featured on the cover of National Geographic Magazine. Nassau has given birth to many offspring one of which is named Nereide, who was first observed in 2009 and now has a calf of her own, a curious and playful female we have named Nesta. Your support helps us continue long-term non-invasive research on dolphins in the wild studying them "In Their World...On Their Terms." Support us in studying the next generation of dolphinsNational Geographic Photographer Brian Skerry joined us in 2013 for an expedition to find and photograph Nassau, the “Afghan Girl” dolphin.
