Dolphin Watching Cruise with MERR Institute

Calling All Marine Biologists!

Head out in search of dolphins with our friends from the MERR Institute and, if you choose to participate, help collect valuable data on local dolphin populations in the process. Join members of the Marine Education Research and Rehabilitation Institute aboard a Cape Water Tours vessel as we learn about the various marine mammals and sea turtle species native to the area. Scan the waters for dolphin activity and take an active role as a “marine biologist for a day” as you help gather valuable information on local dolphin activity.

For 25 years, MERR has responded to more than 1,500 strandings of the 36 species of threatened and endangered marine species in Delaware’s waterways. Guests of the tour will be provided special field reports to help identify any dolphin activity which assists MERR in the monitoring of the species and ensures their future protection. Feel free to bring snacks and drinks.
