Exactly 10 years ago, on 30th March 2003, we encountered some very special
dolphins: Morigenos, Deinon, Foki and Alenka. Little did we know back then that
we would keep seeing these dolphins regularly and that they (together with their
friends, which we met later) would become a sort of symbol of dolphin
conservation in Slovenia. Morigenos and Deinon are the most frequently
encountered dolphins in Slovenian waters, while Foki and Alenka are not far
behind. We've already seen some of them this year. Today, after knowing them for
ten years, we regard them as part of our family. Each of them is different and
unique, both in external appearance and in their behaviour. Each new encounter
with them makes us happy, but we also worry about their future. Today we know
that these waters are important for them, as they keep using them year after
year. If you're interested in finding out more about how we tell dolphins apart,
visit the Photo-ID
catalogue. If you would like to adopt some of these dolphins or, with
some luck, see them in nature, please visit Adopt a Dolphin and Research Camps.
We hope to keep seeing these (and other)
dolphins in our waters for at last the next ten years.
