Welcome to TerraMar Research!

Species: Celebrating the
Dolphin-Human
Bond
An
anthology by Toni Frohoff, Ph.D. and Brenda Peterson
Now available at Amazon.com
or your local bookstore!

"Between Species" combines the deep wisdom of science, the magic of poetry, and the perspective of history in a rare and moving tribute to the natural affinity people have for dolphins and visa versa. A treasure-trove of information, it is a valuable volume for all who care about the ocean.
