Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation
Welcome to the website of the Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation. The SDWF was established to develop and provide educational awareness and conservation of the Shannon dolphins and other wildlife in the region.
On this website you will find information on the bottlenose dolphins in the Shannon Estuary including their conservation management, ongoing research and monitoring and efforts to increase people's awareness of, and interest in, the Shannon dolphins which are a small, isolated and genetically discrete population.
You can find us now on TripAdvisor, so have a look at our page and feel free to write a review if you have already visited us!
May 2016 marks the 23rd Anniversary of the Shannon Dolphin Project. Visit us at the centre and at local events throughout the summer!
 The SDWF visitor centre and offices can be found in the Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Centre, Merchants Quay, Kilrush, opposite Kilrush Marina.
A range of interesting information and activities, including whale and dolphin skulls and skeletons and rubbing boards, goggle boxes and jigsaws can be found at the centre.
We endeavour to post any news or information of relevance to the Shannon dolphins on this site.
