Study Guides

If you're an educator, parent, or community advocate, please feel free to utilize any of the materials found on this page to give an educational presentation in a local classroom. We believe that education is the key first step to increasing awareness, and we hope that you will help us spread the word in your community!

Ask a principal or science teacher at a local school if they would be interested in a guest presentation. Feel free to share this page with them so they can evaluate the materials for suitability. If you are the member of a church or social group, you can also ask about whether you can host a presentation.

Please note that some of the materials may contain upsetting footage or images of dolphin capture. The items marked “All Ages” are appropriate for any audience, while all others may be more appropriate for ages 13+. In all instances, we ask that teachers and parents review all materials before sharing with young viewers.
