Show Description:

My name is Vicki and I’m a cove monitor for Ric O’Barry's Dolphin Project. In the Japanese town of Taiji, thousands of dolphins are hunted, slaughtered, or taken prisoner for a life sentence in captivity EVERY year. These dolphins that are stolen are often starved and forced to perform circus tricks for human entertainment; they are trained and shipped off in coffin-like containers to all corners of the globe.

The dolphins are driven into the Cove by banger boats, once netted in, they are then slaughtered or removed from the ocean for the captivity process. The dolphin meat is sold in restaurants and supermarkets.

My nine-year-old daughter, Imogen, is a student at United World College-Thailand and has been with me to Japan four times to act as a mini monitor and to stand as a child ambassador to oppose the hunting of dolphins. Aidan Darr, a 12-year-old who is also a student at UWC, watched "The Cove" movie and made a fantastic animated short film for his grade 5 exhibition last year. He will join us as Dolphin Project's newest mini-Cove Monitor in Taiji this coming October.

The purpose of the Cove Monitor is huge. We serve as an observer and report on what we see daily, sometimes hourly in order to have a record and be a witness for the rest of the world. To learn more, visit: https://dolphinproject.com/blog/on-the-frontlines-the-dolphin-project-cove-monitors/

We are asking for your support in our bid to raise the funds to get us to Taiji and put in five days of monitoring. In total, we need 100,000 thai baht and with your help, I’m confident we can do it. Any money left over will be directly donated straight into the Dolphin Project Cove Monitor Funds account.
