“The activities commemorating International Manatee Day are highly important to us. Spreading valuable information that contributes to the conservation of the Manatee is our duty as a Socially Responsible Company that houses this endangered species in its care. We are excited that more and more people, adults and children, are interested in our commemorative events and put into practice the recommendations we provide to take care of our environment and the species that inhabit it,” said Rosy Cerrillos, Corporate Manager of Marine Mammal Specialists at The Dolphin Company.
This edition will be of great relevance for The Dolphin Company as it will be inclusive. During the conferences on September 21 at the Ka’Yok Planetarium in Cancun, children, teenagers, and adults with diverse disabilities will be in attendance. Some of them will come from associations such as Manos Especiales A.C. and the Centro de Atención Múltiple (CAM) Eduard Huet. More than 100 people with disabilities are expected to attend, who will be able to enjoy the presentations through sensory materials, Braille, and a sign language interpreter. The event’s staff and volunteers were also trained to provide excellent attention and care to all visitors.
The Dolphin Company has been a Socially Responsible Company for more than 17 years, and every year carries out activities to raise awareness about the care of species such as Sea Lions, Dolphins, and Manatees, working together with society for the welfare of the flora and fauna that surrounds us.
