Dolphin Count brings together marine mammal experts, enthusiastic volunteers and interested community members to:

​

• LEARN more about Charleston’s true “locals”, their behaviors, and home ranges.

• RAISE awareness about ways our community can view dolphins responsibly.

• ENGAGE the community on the threats these animals face and ways each of us can help.

• COLLECT valuable data using citizen scientists.

• ANSWER questions and teach the next generation of marine stewards.

• ENCOURAGE each participant to take action for more local protections such as plastic bans, protecting Capt Sams Inlet and fighting seismic drilling.
