“Every year we are excited to prepare the Dolphin Day activities, for us it represents the opportunity to provide valuable information about this wonderful species, so that they can get to know it and that inspires them to take care of it and the environment in which it thrives. This edition is special for us since the activities and conferences will be totally inclusive for people with visual and hearing disabilities, this means that we will have the presence of two Mexican sign language interpreters and that we will create material in Braille so that everyone can be part of this wonderful event and not miss a single detail of it”, said Paula Lomán, Environmental Education Coordinator of The Dolphin Company.
Each year, The Dolphin Company carries out activities to commemorate dolphin, sea lion and manatee day, and on each occasion incorporates children with different disabilities, so that the entire community learns more about the species under its care.
