Give to support Cape Lookout Studies

Our programs have helped clean up the marine environment promoting protection and conservation of marine mammals, sea turtles, and other endangered marine creatures.

We know more about the biology, behavior, anatomy, and physiology of whales and dolphins (cetaceans) as a result of this work, and can apply that knowledge to conservation efforts.

Program researchers share what they learn with citizens, students, and fellow scientists all over the world through publications, presentations, displays, and this web site.

All of these things have been accomplished thanks to the generous contributions of foundations, non-profits, businesses, government entities, and people like you. Thank you! But there’s more to do and we invite you to help these programs continue to make advances in conservation, research and education. Please give to the Cape Lookout Studies Program. Your donation of any amount will help sustain this important work. Giving is easy!
