LIST OF OUR PROGRAMS
Research and Conservation Program
Palm Beach Dolphin Project
Prompted by rising concerns about the population and health status
of whales and dolphins in Florida, we have made Palm Beach County,
for the very first time, the focus of a long-term effort to assess
the conservation status of these animals and associated ecosystems. For more information how you can specifically contribute to this program
contact us at harzen@taras.org.
Critical Habitat Mapping
Our cutting-edge methodology enables us to illustrate the temporal and spatial relationships of natural resources, environmental conditions and human activities. For more information contact us at harzen@taras.org.
Ocean Stewardship Seminar Program
This unique program requires a vessel 60ft (plus) in power
or sail as is operational platform, or access to such a boat on a temporary basis. Once launched, this program
will generate significant revenues that will underpin the all programs of the Foundation. For more information, contact us at harzen@taras.org.
Outreach Programs
Dolphin Dialogues
We seek underwriters to support our weekly radio program dedicated to science,
the environment and conservation. With $28,200 secured, we need an additional
$28,200 to ensure production of the 46 programs per year.
Meet the Scientist Lecture Series
We need underwriters for this community program with a total annual contribution
of $3,700.
Special
Projects
Marine Mammal Stranding Network
Help us treat and rescue stranded whales and dolphins! The Taras Oceanographic
Foundation is part of the Southeast U.S Marine Mammal Stranding Network and
responsible for all stranding events in Palm Beach County. For more information on how you can specifically support this program, contact
us at brunnick@taras.org.
Sea Shell Collection
Sponsor a travelling shell exhibit!
The Foundation has currently custody of an extensive and marvelous sea-shell
collection that includes three to four thousand items. The shells were collected
between the 1930s through 1960s, and many of them have been diligently catalogued.
We intend to use these shells to create a travelling exhibit that can move from one school to another providing unique learning opportunities to children of all ages. For more information on how to help us make it happen, contact us at harzen@taras.org.
