Atlantic spotted dolphins are classified as toothed whales. This means they have teeth like you and me as well as an opening called a blowhole. There are over 86 species of toothed whales all over the world including beluga whales, sperm whales, and river dolphins to name a few. Why are toothed whales essential for a thriving ecosystem? Whales engineer the ecosystem. All types of whales keep the ocean and globe functioning by storing carbon from the air and keeping fisheries healthy.

Raising awareness is important, but it’s not enough! We all need to take action to help turn the tide. We worked with our science partners to create subject specific post cards that explain the top beneficial actions you can take on behalf of the species or ecosystem you’re supporting with your purchase. Shipped with every order, these cards are informative, beautiful and ready for a stamp so you can share it with a friend. 

Our team of salty science communicators hit the library and dug up everything you need to know about the species or ecosystem you’re supporting with your purchase. From past history and current status to future conservation challenges and specific ways you can get more involved, each series takes a deep dive into the causes we support so you can stay informed.

Each series consists of around 8 parts, emailed to you each week after your order is delivered.  And fear not, you can unsubscribe at any time, but we promise you won’t want to ;-) 

10% of the profits from your purchase are donated to high-impact research and education organizations that are experts in their specific fields. We encourage you to learn more about these amazing organizations here. Purchases from this collection donate to the Bahamas Marine Mammal Research Organisation.
