ORCA seems like a worthwhile organisation that's working to monitor and protect marine mammals across the globe.

Have a look at their website (and their training is currently free because of their 25th anniversary)

Happy #NationalDolphinDay! 🐬 Did you know that more than a dozen species of #dolphins and #porpoises are known to have inhabited #Massachusetts waters? Keep an eye out the next time you're at the beach! For more sea-riously cool facts about these smart and social #animals, visit https://www.mspca.org/animal_protection/dolphins/

Concerns over the welfare of captive #dolphins, #whales and #porpoises have led to calls for their transfer to marine sanctuaries. ‪This #PLOSBiology Perspective reports the first accreditation guidelines for authentic #ocean sanctuaries to transform cetacean care, developed as a collaboration between the Whale Sanctuary Project, SEA LIFE TRUST, and the US National Aquarium.
