ABOUT THE SITE
This website is intended as a general database and resource for those interested in captive held marine mammals. At this time the website features pages on dolphins, porpoises, killer whales and belugas. For the moment we are focusing on the dolphin and porpoise page although other pages are up. We are also focusing on the current living population of cetaceans but in the future look for a list of deceased animals as well as a historical record (all known living and deceased animals).

The webmasters of this site strive for accurate and up-to-date information. The database is a large and sometimes unruly mass of data. The data itself is constantly changing as animals are transported to other facilities, give birth, or die. Your understanding is appreciated when dealing with any incorrect information.

We also ask that if you find errors including typos or errors in html code to please email the Webmasters. If you wish to share information or pictures please email as well. If you like we will credit you with the update/info.

The database also features a large number of photos. Whenever possible we have attempted to contact the original owner of the photograph for their permission and to correctly credit the photographer. If you see one of your photos displayed here and either want it removed or credited please email.

This database is intended to be an information resource. While the administrators of the Phin'ventory have an opinion about captivity this is not meant to be a forum for either a pro or con argument.
