Instituto Via Delphi

Description

The Via Delphi Institute for Research on Marine Mammals is a Mexican non-profit organization established to generate scientific knowledge about marine mammals, mostly of the Tursiops truncatus species. The research center is located in the state of Quintana Roo, near Cancún, where the scientific members make indoor studies. The Via Delphi Institute also conducts research programs with wild dolphin populations from the Campeche and Tabasco coasts, in the Gulf of Mexico, and in Holbox Island in the Mexican Caribbean Sea. The institute is divided in two working groups, one composed of biologists and the other of veterinarians, both supported by graduate students and volunteers.
