Adopt Coral the whale today!

Coral is a male Humpback whale who perseveres in the face of adversity. Attacked by orcas as a newborn, he was only three years old when he lost his mother to a fishing gear entanglement, a fate he, fortunately, was able to survive as an adult. When you adopt Coral the whale, every adoption contributes to Whale and Dolphin Conservation’s goals to ensure every whale is safe and free. When you adopt a whale, you will receive a personalized certificate with a photograph, biography and Coral’s family tree, fascinating facts and figures about humpback whales, a map of his migratory path, a humpback sticker to show your support, monthly updates and recent WDC newsletters including updates on where your adopted whale has been seen and how your adoption is helping to save whales and dolphins worldwide.

Adoption Project

WDC’s Whale Adoption Project first began in the early 1980s. As the first humpback whale adoption program in the world, we have remained the best, as demonstrated by the number of whales who have been sponsored by their original adopters for almost 30 years. In 2014, WDC added two orcas to our adoptable whale family. Often called killer whales for their ability to take town sea lions and other large prey in the wild for food, Fife and Holly are welcome additions to our whale pod. All orca and humpback whale adopters will also receive monthly updates featuring seasonal sightings and personality profiles of the individual whales you adopt. There is an adoption package for everyone and each adoption helps fund our work to free cetaceans in captivity and protect adoptable whales, orcas, and dolphins, as well as the ocean habitats on which we all depend. Adopt Coral the whale today to become part of our captivity-free whale-loving family!
