Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation
Welcome to the website of the Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Foundation. The SDWF has been 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 about our attempts to promote sustainable dolphin-watching, which we hope will bring economic benefit to the region as well as increasing people's awareness and interest in all whales and dolphins in Ireland.
 The SDWF offices can be found in the Shannon Dolphin and Wildlife Centre (formerly the Scattery Island Centre) in Kilrush, adjacent to Kilrush Creek 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.
