Project Delphis' principal investigator is Dr. Ken Marten [Photo

and former observer on purse-seine tuna boats. After witnessing first hand
the "dolphin holocaust" aboard the tuna boats, Dr. Marten devoted
himself to advancing scientific understanding--and public awareness--of
the unique dolphin mind.
