About dolphinaris
What is Dolphinaris?
Dolphinaris is a dolphin conservation and wellness center where science, education, and interactive experiences come together to promote knowledge and the protection of marine mammals. Our primary focus is ensuring the health, safety, and well-being of our dolphins through environments specifically designed for their development.
Well-being and Care at Dolphinaris
At Dolphinaris, the well-being of our dolphins is our top priority. Through science, research, and environmental commitment, we provide them with a safe and enriching environment.
Comprehensive Well-being and Care: More Than a Habitat, a Safe Home
Our facilities meet the highest international standards and have been approved by organizations such as USDA-APHIS and NOM-135 SEMARNAT. Additionally, they are designed with cutting-edge technology that allows for monitoring and control of water quality, temperature, and other key factors essential to the dolphins’ health.
- Advanced Filtration Systems: We have a purification and water recirculation system that maintains optimal salinity and water quality, replicating natural ocean conditions.
- Spaces Designed for Socialization: Our habitats allow dolphins to interact in environments that encourage natural behaviors, ensuring their emotional and social well-being.
- Environmental Enrichment Program: Dolphins receive daily stimulation through games, activities, and positive reinforcement training to promote their physical and mental development.
- Continuous Veterinary Supervision: Each dolphin receives specialized medical care, including routine check-ups, blood tests, ultrasounds, and X-rays to ensure their long-term well-being.
- Interdisciplinary Team: Dolphinaris has a team of marine life experts, veterinarians specializing in marine mammals, and certified trainers who work together to provide the highest standards of animal welfare. These specialists monitor the behavior, health, and social interactions of each dolphin, ensuring personalized care tailored to their needs.
The Relationship Between Dolphins and the Interdisciplinary Team
The interdisciplinary team plays a fundamental role in the well-being of the dolphins. The relationship established between these professionals and the dolphins is based on trust, respect, and communication. Through positive reinforcement techniques, specialists promote the emotional and physical well-being of each dolphin.
- Positive Reinforcement Training: Natural and healthy behaviors are rewarded with stimuli such as gentle touches, games, and food.
- Daily Monitoring of Mood and Health: Specialists closely observe each dolphin’s behavior and activity to detect any signs of discomfort or behavioral changes.
- Games and Recreational Activities: Interaction is encouraged through activities designed to stimulate both the mind and body of the dolphins while prioritizing their well-being.
- Social Interaction with Other Dolphins: Specialists facilitate healthy interactions among dolphins to strengthen social bonds within the group.
This daily connection between dolphins and the interdisciplinary team not only ensures their well-being but also contributes to the success of conservation and educational programs.
