At DCP, we study dolphin communication, social behavior and cognition. We funnel our research results into engaging and lively educational programs for "kids" of all ages. We collaborate with other scientists internationally and across disciplines (e.g., acoustics, population dynamics, etc.). We are dedicated to continuing long-term, longitudinal observations of dolphins in four study locations: Bimini, The Bahamas, Mikura Island, Japan, Roatan, Honduras, and Nassau, The Bahamas.

With access to a data archive collected since 1991, questions focus on communication among Atlantic spotted dolphins in The Bahamas, Indo-Pacific bottlenose dolphins in Japan, and common bottlenose dolphins in human care in Honduras and The Bahamas. In addition to studies of communication and behavior, DCP research associates also investigate comparisons between species, geographies, and habitats, as well as their own research topics. We are dedicated to continuing the long-term, longitudinal observations of dolphins in our four study locations.Volunteer and internship opportunities are offered on a limited, individual basis. Assistance is needed in the processing and analysis of data at the DCP office in Connecticut. Field internships and volunteer work in the field are not available from DCP.
