Protect Wild Dolphins Alliance, Inc. (PWDA), brings its decades of expertise, knowledge and passion to support  scientific research, conservation, and educational programs that serve to  protect wild dolphins in Louisiana.​PWDA looks forward to continuing to work with organizations such as the Audubon's Coastal Wildlife Network, who received $25,000.00 from license plate proceeds, which allowed them to be able to purchase a boat that can navigate Louisiana’s shallow coastal waters to transport staff, stranded dolphins, and response equipment, as well as purchasing rehabilitation diagnostic supplies and tools. Louisiana is prone to storm surge from tropical weather—trapping dolphins inland in marshes, ponds, and drainage canals.  The boat has allowed CWN to more easily search these areas for stranded animals and allow for more safe and efficient rescue operations. Previously, CWN had to borrow a boat from various partner organizations—increasing response time and decreasing effectiveness.
