When you symbolically adopt or name a Galveston Bay dolphin, you become a member of our Dolphin Society and your contribution goes directly to our Galveston Bay Dolphin Research Program. On top of making a meaningful and unique gift, our adoption kits are also a great way to raise awareness of issues facing native wildlife in Galveston Bay.

Opportunity to name the dolphin and certificate of adoption
If you are giving the naming/adoption as a gift, you will be able to indicate this when completing the donation form.
Multiple people may adopt the same dolphin, but each dolphin will only be named once. Your dolphin’s name will be permanently used by the research team and will be officially included in our database.
If you have previously adopted a dolphin that is not currently available for adoption but you would like to renew the adoption of your original dolphin, please contact us at cblair@galvbay.org
