is home to a family of Atlantic bottlenose dolphins and California sea lions. Open daily for the public to see narrated behavior sessions
and educational presentations and to participate in interactive programs with
the dolphins, the center is funded by admission and program fees as well as by
private donors and members. In addition
to being one of the most highly respected facilities in the world, DRC is the
Licensed Manatee Rescue Team for the Florida Keys and is an accredited member
of the Alliance of Marine Mammal Parks and Aquariums.
