About Us

A portion of each sale will be donated to the Dolphin Research Center located in the Florida Keys.

The Dolphin Research Center was founded as a nonprofit corporation in 1984 by Jayne Shannon-Rodriguez and Armando "Mandy" Rodriguez. Their goal was to ensure the dolphins had a home here for life, and in doing so to establish a unique education and research facility. Through education, research and rescue, the Dolphin Research Center promotes peaceful coexistence, cooperation and communication between marine mammals, humans, and the environment that we share with the well-being of DRC’s animals taking precedence.

In addition to maintaining the best possible environment for the dolphins and sea lions at the Center, the Dolphin Research Center also dedicates itself to assisting marine mammals in distress in the surrounding waters of the Keys.

To reach as many people as possible, the Center provides a variety of educational programs that allow the public a chance to learn firsthand about the world of the dolphins, sea lions, manatees and many other marine mammals.
