Dolphin Research Center

Dolphin Research center is a not-for-profit education and research facility that is home to a colony of dolphins and sea lions. Located in the heart of the Florida Keys on Grassy Key, our animals live in a natural environment in the Florida Bay. Since establishment in 1984, Dolphin Research Center remains dedicated to teaching, learning, and caring for marine mammals and the environment we share. We accomplish this through a variety of public education programs and non-invasive research projects, and by active involvement with the marine mammal care community throughout the world.
