9.0 How can you adopt a dolphin or whale?

Following are some dolphin and whale adoption programs. Most provide a certificate, photo, chart, and quarterly newsletter. This list was created by Trisha Lamb Feuerstein (dolphintlf@aol.com) based on several sources, but a large portion of the information, especially Canadian information, was found in Patricia Corrigan's book "The Whale Watcher's Guide: Whale-Watching Trips in North America". Contact the organizations or check out their Web sites if there is one for more information about the programs.
