Project Roadmap
The Delphinidae.org project is an ambitious attempt to build a resource for the whole of the dolphin community. So much is already known about these fantastic animals, and so much is left to learn. This will be a place to collect all of this information and make it more easily available for the world to see.

- Complete list of species ✔
- Overview of biology, research and community
- Occasional news articles
Phase Two
Facts
In the second phase of the project, important information will be filled in to make the site a truly valuable resource. We also hope to make connections with the community during this phase.
- Page for each species
- Overview of known research and the goals being undertaken research
- Regular news cycle
Phase Three
Friends
In the last construction phase of the project, Delphinidae will be taken to the next level, curating as much information as possible, and involving the community in several ways.
- Detailed information about each species
- In-depth information about biology and research
- Interactive resources
- Community participation
Connecting the Community
Across the spectrum of dolphin conservation, research and husbandry, great people are doing incredible work. Although there are big differences in philosophy, few would disagree with the following goals:
• To learn as much as we can about dolphins.
• To do our best to care for and conserve the environments of dolphins.
• To inspire the coming generation to care for dolphins, and our oceans.
