Pro Delphinus

Pro Delphinus is a Peruvian non-profit organization registered in SAM.gov, recognized as a minority and Hispanic American owned business. While specific details about the organization's full mission are not provided, the available data indicates a strong focus on marine conservation, particularly concerning sea turtle protection and sustainable fishing practices in Peru. The organization is strategically positioned to receive federal grants, with its current SAM.gov registration valid through August 30, 2025, and a demonstrated history of engaging with U.S. federal funding agencies.

Pro Delphinus has consistently secured federal grant awards focused on marine conservation and sustainable fisheries, primarily through the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and in partnership with the National Fish and Wildlife Foundation. Their grant-funded projects specifically target sea turtle conservation in Peru, with a concentrated effort on reducing marine species bycatch in small-scale gillnet and longline fisheries. Recent grants, including a significant award dated August 1, 2024 (F24AP03057), aim to increase the capacity of Peru's Forestry and Wildlife National Service (SERFOR) to minimize sea turtle mortality. Their work involves developing training programs for fishers, creating awareness campaigns about sea turtle handling and release methods, and implementing best practices for sustainable fishing. Sub-awards from previous years have similarly focused on reducing threatened species bycatch, promoting safer fishing gear, and building regional stakeholder awareness about marine conservation in the Humboldt current region.
