The Marine Connection is a London-based charity, set up in 1997, working both nationally and internationally for the welfare, protectionand conservation of dolphins, whales and porpoises - from the smallest to the largest species, they all need protecting.

One way the charity achieves this is through a mix of campaigning, education and research. The Marine Connection hasachieved – or contributed to – many important victories for dolphins and whales, however whilst we are anactively campaigning organisation, education and research also play a vital part ofthe charity’s conservation work.

One of the charity's main objectives is to ensure everyone understands theimportance of protecting these marine mammals and their natural habitat.
